kota, yep, i seen it before but can't remember who did it. since i won't be able to put a brake on the rear due to wide tire thought i would try the freewheel brake. looks fun.lol

You can put a brake on there. Just need a bolt-on spacer to position the caliper where it needs to be. Install wheel/tire, position the caliper over the rotor, and measure the distance between the frame and caliper...then make an adapter.
 
oh boy and ruin my fun.lol just think i'll stick with the front brake, it's danger time.lol

the shop is up. I did give most of my stuff away to a friend across the street. he is into motors on bikes. soooo, EL Grande Choppa will be getting a total make over. we have a 49cc yamaha engine from a scooter that will be going in and no peddles on this just the engine. we will be tearing the scotter apart today to get the engine out and anything else we need to use. so this is the last post for this. I'll start a post in motor bikes and the new name will be:

I really want to see how you handle the chain clearance.
I want two of those tires for Fugsley!!!!!!!
 
What kind and size is the rear tire? I can make out Dunlop and Qualifier but am missing the third word. Was there any modification needed to run it on the OCC rim? What kind of tube are you using?

TIA,
JohnThomas Sorrels
 
john, I don't have the bike here right now. will have it tommorow so I'll look to see what your missing. the tire is 16"x130mm. am using the schwinn tube for the 4'" tire. it was a little hard to get on the rim. took a little bit to pass into the rear end but has some clearance. it is a motorcycle tire that I got used form a place called re cycle. if you want this type of tire just go to your harly dealer and see if they won't give the tire for free. mine is worn some but for what it will be used for it's fine. will send you the rest of the info later. thanks.

is that a motorcycle tire then?
cause thats not a stock 'new stingray tire..
 
I picked up a bunch of FREE Harley tires today and took some measurements.

Can you please post the full factory size info of your rear tire along some measurements?

For example the tires I am putting on Fugsley are:
Two Harley Davidson Dunlop D402F MT 90 B 16 72H and it's dimensions are:
Inside Diameter = 16"
Outside Diameter = 25"
Outside Width (bead to bead) =3"
Outsude Width = 5"

Also,check out the tire mounting jig I made for Fugsley with a little redneck engineering. The second side of the the tire popped on in less than 2-3 minutes with no tools at all!
