Wow, I can't believe how cool this thing is getting. Some of us think we've done something when we restore a old bike, then you build something like this. :bowdown: Looks great man. :thumbsup:

Thanks Clay its just a bunch of bits of steel and an idea I had in my head for a few years lol
I did some cutting on the frame made it not so tall and a not so long mounted the shocks and was able to sit on it , wow its tiny and feels weird lol
But it is a scaled down version the full size I hope will be a better fit
I may even be ready for testing in a few days lol just need a scaled down rider

Spent a good day in the shop and got a lot of stuff finished on the test bike
jackshaft mounts , engine mount , rear springs , seat , track tensioners , and handle bars

Hopefully tomorow will be just as productive lol still have to make the jackshaft and sprockets hook up the throttle and try and get the engine running , will have to find my box of carb parts,

A couple more pictures lol

so this is your test bike right? if it works your going to scale it up some? I really like the design simple and effective. In theory anyway :laugh: Might be wise to put a couple sets of foot pegs. Some up front and some in the middle so you can shift your weight where it needs to be

Ya I was actually thinking of a running board kind of footrest to be able to shift the weight around

Tried sitting on it yet? Balance front to back feel ok?

When I sit on it , it rests on the back section of the track , with a little weight shit it rocks forward very easily
If I get the rest of the stuff done tomorow and the engine runs it may be testing time lol

That thing is crazy, looks like a blast if it works like it supposed to. It looks as if the exhaust is going to be blowing right back at the rider, that might be an issue.
