Pat if I'm reading the ID plate on your engine its a 70 model H50 ? You probably posted it back in the thread some where. This thing is going to romp with that H50 on it .

Good eyes, E. Here's hoping it gets my fat butt moving. Lol!

I built a bike stand this morning. I had it sitting on a plastic bin and was afraid it was gonna collapse when I set the engine on the bike. Here is a pic with the engine set in place.

Thank you Tom. I'm in the process of customizing a kickstand. [MENTION=45314]Ajf[/MENTION] has been a big help with it.

Thank you! I didn't think about it. Maybe I should, huh? I still have a little work to do before it's completely done.

I am definately going to the show though. You going?

 

[tyleryamaha]

Yes planning on going. I will look for you and Cheezy.

[MENTION=45314]Ajf[/MENTION] was kind enough to send some parts for a kickstand. After some cutting, bending, and zinc plate, here is the final product.

Thank you Jerry. I had to weld up the "tooling" for the shop press. Shop press setup took 5x longer than actually doing the work I needed done. By the time I thought about what I needed to do, figure out a way to do it, make the parts to make it happen, test out on scrap, the sun was going down. LOL!

Great job on the kickstand Pat, looks factory to me .

Thank you Eric, much appreciated. I was going to just "make" a kickstand that works like the original. I ended up just having to bend and cut the 1/2" rod to the proper length, bend the "w" in the 1/2" rod holder part, and make the upper adapter bracket.

As E said , looks factory to me too !!

Got a little work done on the jack shaft setup tonight. I drilled a few divots in the shaft to allow the set screws to do their job.

Just caught up...again...looks great. What are you planning on for exhaust? I saw the street elbow on the H50.

Hey Pete, thanks for the comment. The original exhaust and bracket for one of these is like the pic here.

I really like making things, so my thought was to buy some stainless thin wall tubing, bend a 45 on one end and polish it up. Exhaust hanger will be easy.

Home has me a little busy at the moment, but not much left to do.

Exhaust, clutch cover with brackets, some throttle linkage, a couple of brackets to hold the tank down, and a few nuts and bolts. Oh, and chain from clutch to jackshaft sprocket.

Can't wait to see the exhaust set up , cool stuff Brother !!

 

[t555trailblazer]

If you build the exhaust like you build everything else, it's going to turn out really nice! Looking forward to seeing it !!!
