Trailmaster MB200-2 Project

[FatBuddyCat]

Here is a Trailmaster MB200-2 that I have been working on guys!

Sweet bike bro!

 

[FatBuddyCat]

Thank you! It's been a work in progress!

 

[Lizardking]

Nice job making it your own.

Thans so much! The ground froze again last night so I'll be posting some action shots. It's no slouch!

Heres a special cut related to fixing the belt slip guys!!!

 

[FatBuddyCat]

Here it is in Hemi 212 REAL stage 1 race motor form guys!!

This is the run down on the plastics, handlebars and skinny super 30 series cover!

How about this concept guys.... instead of extending the swing arm you add a scissor link that is offset towards the rear of the bike, cantilevered from the original mount so that your on the same plain to create the same lift with a wider range of motion and less inhibition towards the chain? Not sure if moving the mount back but longer on the bottom or moving the top mount would help because you'd be moving parallel to the desired lift....

It can wheelie!

Compression makes the chain tighter, it's the unloading when the bike goes airborne that makes the chain go slack. Maybe shock straps are a solution.

 

[FatBuddyCat]

Ok, limit that fulcrum all together! This is why I post stuff. To get people thinking as a community. That is a great idea because you are moving the ride height up without dropping the axle below the pivot point too far. I like it!

Here's a real gem for you guys with mb200-2 seat blues!!

So i was looking at the Trailmaster drivetrain geometry this afternoon. If an enterprising individual wanted to make it "right", they could take the current output sprocket and move it to the other end of the jackshaft (which would probably need to be extended), then add a second jackshaft at the rear swingarm pivot points, which would replace the current bolts. Add another chain and sprocket to connect the two jackshafts, and a sprocket and chain to the rear wheel. This would give you perfect geometry and the chain tension wouldn't change no matter what you do to the rear tire.

Of course this would require a small collection of bearings, bushings, bearings, lock collars, etc...

See what I mean! It's fun to look at!

These are the spacers pics we're requested of.

 

[FatBuddyCat]

This is actually a good view, everything is right there. The brake bracket goes between the two spacers and connects to the swing arm.

As far as spacers from right to left in increasing order to think about it easier. Start with your adjusters on both sides. Slide axle in from brake side, goes through one washer, then the adjuster on the swing arm, small spacer, brake bracket, medium spacer, in through the bearing, through the wheel, through the other side out the bearing, through the longest spacer and exit through the sprocket side adjuster.
