Am gonna try and use the sweet mower handle bars

Now have fuel hose and throttle set up and the engine is running well but there is something missing off the throttle cable causing too much slack making it hard to keep constant revs. Time to go rummage in the garage for something to fix it.

I've been procrastinating with sorting getting drive to the rear wheel

Im in the exact same boat boe.

Think I have made up my mind now and am making headway to getting it done.

I really just need to decide what hubs to run in the wheels and get the damn things built.

um...you could probably get a belt drive kit from someone for a square drive BB.

They are notoriously weak tho and tend to flog out fairly quickly as they are only made from aluminium.

If you wanna go down that route id suggest getting an industrial pulley machined to fit a square taper BB axle.

Would be pricey tho.

I have a request sir,

Can you please sit on this on somewhat riding position and take side on photo.

I sat on mine it it seems to small.

Need to get it fully weldied up and rolling so i can test properly

I had a similar dilemma, I originally planned to make it longer but I'm glad I didn't now.

Will get a pic for you on Sat

square BB or BMX crank spindle would still be the go i reckon. bmx BB will have sealed bearings, plus having factory alignment for chain/belt to rear wheel. fixing pulleys and sprockets to a plain shaft could be a bitch unless you have big faith in grub screws, lock nuts, pins, or have broaching gear to make a keyway.. chop crank arms and turn down to a useable hub to attach gears to?
