countstevula's 2014 Open Class Build - Powerdyne Chopper

[countstevula]

My open class entry this year is a powerdyne chopper, acquired from Cheezpuff, err, Cheezynun. Cheezy1, that's it! Haven't decided on options yet, but it will be classy :thumbsup:

Nice!!!!!

 

[cheezy1]

Wow..I gave it to you so cheap cause you said you were building it for some poor kid. Instead you building it for yourself...all I can say is "WOW". :laugh: Anyways..on a serious note. I am glad to see someone finally build it. I look forward to your progress. Just wish you didn't pick pink as your primary color. :anon.sml:

MarkG might have an nos Kelsey Hayes brake caliper that will work on that bike with slight modification.......

Looks great,

So a fat tire Choppper; should be fun to watch.

:hack::grind::weld:

Always fun to tear stuff apart.....it went well enough. Front wheel has a boogered up not on one of the bolts that needs attention, and one of the sprocket spacers on the rear is stuck on the bolt, that one should be an easy fix.

 

[countstevula]

Thought this was cool.........the plate over the front forks just pops off.

 

[countstevula]

check this shiznit out.....this is an axle spacer for the front wheel. It presses against the wheel bearing, it is very rusty and has needle bearings inside. Any chance of finding a replacement from anywhere? If not, what should I use against the wheel bearing so as not to side load it, and also use as a spacer?

 

[countstevula]

One more thing, anyone know how to get the forks apart? :shrug:

Try McMaster Carr or check Timken Company.

Can't think of the name atm but it's at corner of Newberg and 96 they got a lot of oddball stuff like that. I'll post name once it comes to mind.

Just go to Cheezy's house, he probably has dozens of that style bearing!:laugh:

 

[bikebudy]

I'm allmost sure that bearing is pressed into that outer housing ?

Depending on the size, this seller has a few 141163887369

Better yet, Needle Bearings

Yes, the bearing is pressed in. frankster is trying his best to help identify the bearing based on the numbers stamped in it. If that doesn't work, I will take it out of the liquid wrench bath it's sitting in and try and press it out and get some more exact measurements.

Is the bearing bad? Why mess with it?:shrug:
