No Friend I milled it open after your suggestion!

Thanks!

No interferrance now?

[dirtbag]

Looks great, except for no pivot on the pegs.. I drag my pegs on every bike ive ridden, i would never run solid pegs myself. Constuctive critisism my friend.. Looking like youll be ready for spring. Whats your next project going to be??

[Customize IT]

If it becomes A problem? I can easy make a pivot joint to thread on but when I sit on it I do not belive I would be able to hold it up at that angle of lean?

You get my messages on the rod end links friend>

And you see my knock off of your kickstand?

[Jeff L]

Lookin good Man.Looks like it's getting close to tear down & Paint.

[dirtbag]

I just saw spidr gave you direction for the rod end, yes thats the ones I used on a few bikes now, they have held up well on a bike I built awhile back.. And thats some funny stuff, a dirtbag knockoff, ha ha...keep building, Im off enjoying life at the pomeroy at night and rideing my sled and running my saws during the day..

Sounds good friend be safe!

Well I am getting close to done and wanted to see if I am on or about my 500 lb goal for this bike?

It still does not have battery or battery box or wiring or chain tensioner or fuel but is full of oil?

I am not sure how accurate measuring with bath room scale is?

But 165 lb front?

and 220 lb rear?

should be close to one cc per lb when done?

[Customize IT]

I just looked up the specs for the stock bike and it wieghed dry 374.786 lbs from the manual?

[krymis]

you best get cracking on this project....still waiting to see you in the driveway waiting to ride.

[Customize IT]

Thanks friend!

I want to ride her!



I finished the rear brake???

This has slowed me because of tight tolerances everything is streched but also smushed down and really sucks for this application?

I needed a way to manufacture the jack shaft myself? I had no broach to keyway it but, it had to seperate to be able to remove for paint?

After some thought I came up with a way to do with only the tools I have? Broachs are expensive to buy?

I took a 3/4 bar and drilled it out for a 1/2 bolt to run down the center?

Then Milled the shaft to fit each other in 2 pieces and key this way?







Then a sleave was slid on after being turned flush and welded?







This left a key with a sleave holding it in place from working out ward?



I then cut the bolt holding the 2 pieces together and welded it to the sleave that goes out ward on the bike?







I then made the bearing out of brass with 1/8 thickness and 1/8th in thrust washers?



A outer sleave was made to go over this shaft and be welded to bring it out to bearing size?
I made this all out of tube stock because I thought easier to mill the interferance parts in the inside?







Ground and turned the face square?







Did the same on the other side?









Completed parts of the jack shaft?



Added a zert fitting to grease?



Use a paralell to raise it off the frame to weld?





Checked the kick start would clear?



Welded



Added two tabs same length at 180 out from each other? Took a bit to get the straight with rods and plan how the ends would be?





The front linkage mount on forwards?



Made a return stop and spring for it?





Made sure kick start cleared?



The linkage had to be above the bottom of the frame so it would clear if frame bottomed out?



Forwards?

.I had to make a cross over for my Shifter.It's funny how 2 People can make basically the same Part,go about it totally different yet the end result looks similar & does the same Job.Nice thought out Piece Man.

I have been a funk here for a bit.

I guess I should come out my shell for a bit and share.

I was sick for a straight week in bed.

Then next week not up full speed.

Several guys in my department at work quit to go to other places for work so been overwhelmed there and picking up extra days to help. Working 6 days a week.

My Grand mother passed away this week and dealing with that now. Funeral tomorrow.

I have no money so my work on the bike has been forced to take other paths just to be able to complete this somewhat.

I have failed several times too on designs and lost time on these projects for it too.


I tried to make the swivel for the foot control but this did not swivel because the cable to short and stiff. I must have welded it on crooked and it cut the cable and decided to remove the foot clutch control because with out it I did not have to have the front brake I do not have the money to buy front wheel anyway.

This was the swivel.



Removed
The bearing is still the if I decide to change this control latter.



I welded the handle bar and blanked the control hole that was in the bar.



I blanked the grip on the bar too.



I found a grommet to fit the cable out other whole in handle bar.



Drilled and tapped the grip left side.





Turned a spacer for the suicide clutch control to mount and welded it to handle.



Drilled the handle for set screw.



New clutch control.



Made a billet kick start pedal.





Turned a nylon roller with 1/2 x 3/4 inch bearings rated 18000 rpm to prevent the chain slapping the bar.

It has .020 clearance from rolling engaged all the time and is the just to keep the chain from cutting the bar.









Milled the pod filters and installed the foam and screen mess.











I took apart the front shock and added a 5/8 spacer to adjust my height for the bike. Now even with my weight the bike linkages even bouncing on it never passes the parrelll point with level with ground and my trail is perfect at damn near 3.5 inchs for girder with my weight on it.











Made the mount for the brake light switch.



I am about 3/4 way thru the battery box and fitting the electrical componets.

It will have a foam seal along front edge with the nuts to act like stops for latchs.



Here is the mount for the starter relay to weld it inside the box to prevent and lock up to slow it from being stolen.



Front face has partial hinge ablity to allow for easy repair posibities on the road.



The rectifier needs cooled so it is mounted on top with the regulator and has some rain protection from the seat. The latchs can be locked with small locks and make it easy to open panel.



The mounts for it need made but this is how it will sit in frame.



The key will go here.



Showing the door flipped down for access. Also the battery mount that still needs weled into the box but it is made.



I have to make the mounts to the frame.
I want to make a vent in box by rear fender to cool and release pressure.
Need to drill holes for bottom to drain any water that gets in.
Drill the wiring holes I have the grommets.
I am going to weld a lip above the hinge to act as a rain flanging to keep water from going in there.
A hole for the battery over flow tube needs made.
A bolt needs welded in for the ground.

After the battery box is done then wire.
Then steering stops and remake the head light mount of those stops so the headlight does not bounce with the girder and is fixed to the tree.

[Customize IT]

Added the foam strip to outside edge of box.



Also for battery cushion.



Welded the ground terminal in.



Mounted the key and headlight high off low switch.



Driled the drain holes and gromets for both lights and box.



Made a vent scope in box to keep from cooking battery in heat.



Mounted my nuetral and oil light by motor.



The box is mounted too.



Have to but rectifier because tested bad and battery.
But is wired.
