I just read that this build thread. Great work Eric. But am I reading it right. 5" rear 6" front.
Thanks Karl.....and yes might have to do a 5'' front...not sure yet.

Got My Birthday off Today
So I worked on mini's some, got the foot peg brackets made and mounted.



While I was at it...I decided to add a tad bit more of rake in the front.

Thanks Doc...I got a little more done today.


Original handle bars were pretty much junk, and the top tree was the original aluminium type ...and in good shape. So I bent up a set of bars for it.
Better than what I had , and will work for now.







IF ANYONE HAS A SET OF THESE ORIGINAL BARS FOR SALE....PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

It's always nice to go into the stockroom and pull out what you need LOL! Nice looking fenders. Great addition to the bike, which by the way looks fabulous.

After a quick mock up with a Briggs 205 ohv engine today, I found out I'm in need of a small block Tec 3.5hp engine. The problem being the bigger wider ohv engines have to be moved so far to the right on the engine plate to get the clutch to line up with the rear sprocket. I could use a jackshaft if I have to ..but the bike didn't come factory with one ...but It did come factory with a Tecumseh 3.5 engine.

LOOKING FOR A TECUMSEH H35 ENGINE ?
