The flexible copper or aluminum tube from my air compressor to the air tank has some kind of corrugated heat fins on it. Maybe look at some old air compressors in the scrap yard? Spraying CO2 or Nitrogen at the tube would cool it, but those tanks are heavy and expensive.

List it in the classified section.

I think you re replying to the Ebay Vendor in the other thread. You are right.

I think a big intercooler would result in huge throttle lag. Your idea might cool it enough to allow longer cruises. Water/alcohol injection directly into that hot intake pipe would cool it and make more power. Damn it, I've been watching this project and TRYING not to start another project of...

You guys are talking about the oil and cooling the engine. I'm talking about cooling the compressed air between the blower and the block.

Did I already mention the word "intercooler"? Even a piece of copper tubing through an ice bucket...

I think what we don't need might be a Rupp roller.

I can use the spare fork and the orange jackshaft.

I like Cars and Cameras, but most of their projects have become way too expensive with all of the sponsor money.

I'd bet we could part that out on this site in a week.

Have you checked HENT, top of this page?

Do you have any plans to cool the intake line? I think methanol will eat up your pump, too.

Plus, they were always too big for the youngsters to tear up. The old man paid a lot of money for that bike and it stayed in the garage and was cleaned right after it was ridden.

OOOOH try a blue one!

I just started cutting repair panels from a plastic 55 gallon barrel. I am making hood and fenders for an old mower. I thought I would mention the idea here. I get these barrels free from the local oil change place. They are flexible and they bend easily with heat.

Look at "vintage chainsaw parts" on Ebay. Some of those old saws have Mac, Clinton or Power Products engines bolted into them. They can be easily removed and used mini bikes or go karts. Since they are big, old and heavy for chainsaws, they are sold as parts/ repair.

@Jim Donovan would be the man to talk to.

I assume you are looking for a 5/8 ID clutch? I have been looking, also. Ebay has some interesting ones. Max Torque is the brand I have been looking for.

Paradise! Bike sounds Awesome!

Thank you. It looks like a long time and no resolution. If the owner won't do what people suggest, why ask for help? Best of luck. I'm done here.
