I won't be able to work on the bike till Sunday but I've been contemplating what I should do on the drive train itself.
I can either do the chain straight to the rear tire and have the disc brake set-up on the other side.
Or, I could keep the jack shaft system, that way I can change up the gear ratio easier if I wanted to. The only sprockets I have in my stash are #41's and the clutch I have is a #35. I could leave the clutch to jack shaft #31 and change the jack shaft to rear wheel to #41 and maybe put a bigger tooth on the #41.
Would there be any difference in power between the two set-ups?
I just hate buying stuff again when I could just make something work :laugh:

Rode it for the first time yesterday, Runs really smooth and makes a good amount of power. If you launch it right the front tire comes off the ground a bit. All I have is the dirt/gravel road to the right in the picture so traction is a problem. Can't wait to get this thing on some concrete and video!
