Finished up the Green Tx1. Here's a couple things i found on this bike compared to the orange Tx2/Tx1 bike...
First those "wacky handlebars" as broncco called them on the green bike are indeed, wacky! it handles Ok with them, but man they are weird.
Second I am running a stock comet series30 torque converter on the green Tx1. It seems to work fine with that set up! Unlike the orange Tx2/Tx1 bike, where i just couldn't get the torque converter tuned right.
Third... to the above 2nd point... i installed a Juggernaut on the orange Tx1/Tx2. Because i can't used the custom torque converter cover i made with the juggernaut, moved that cover to the green Tx1 (which is running a stock comet series30 set up.) On the orange bike i installed the stock black plastic comet cover.
Fourth... both bikes have nearly the same engine. They are both Tecumseh HS50 with the same modified cam, same 22mm carb, same open exhaust. Both turn about 5000rpm. The only difference is the green bike has a newer HS50 with CDI ignition and a cast iron flywheel (the orange bike has a points HS50 with an hs40 aluminum flywheel and the smaller rounded blower housing). Which one runs better and pulls harder? The newer HS50 (and it also starts better.) I know this seems weird. But those newer HS50/HSSK50 engines really run well with a big cam/big carb and cast iron flywheel (though i do remove the electric start gear from the flywheel). I've had really good luck with that set up. They are little rockets, and the newer HS50 engines are cheap and easy to find!
Note both bikes have the same gearing (14t to 72t) and both have the exact same wheels/tires.
Yes i am using the original seat on the green bike. It's in decent enough condition, at least for now.
This completes my build off project. Thank you for reading all this...
