kempy Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 bloody brilliant, keeping the sprung carrier arm there is great! It worked out quite useful actually, it locks the frame into place and acts as a tiny rollbar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempy Posted December 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Quite possibly, although I might have to pedal back if it's late, bit noisey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kempy Posted December 11, 2015 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Few more pics, Had to redesign the remote after the first run, Originally it was designed to be in the off position at 6oclock ,standby at 9, throttle from 9 to 4, but I kept accidentally shutting the engine off when throttling down. So I added a 2nd switch, the top switch is power and bottom one is standby/ run so the throttle is now adjustable on for the entire range of the rotary knob, all I need to to to shut down normally is turn the throttle to minimum and throw the4 bottom switch to standby which lets it stay powered for the cooling cycle. Here's a couple of pics of the unit on it's own, it's designed to be added to any healing cruiser and just uses the seat bolt to attach. and the final touch, the tank stickers ,thanks to Bangbug for printing these off last minute. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempy Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Another interesting use in this form, when it's not creating future customers for the local hearing aid supplier its an awesome weed blower. Very effective on concrete, not so much on grass as it has a tendency to scorch things which in itself in another bonus as there's not usually a lot of weed/rubbish left to throw in the bin either. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty360 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 bloody epic mate. I heard and saw the jet engine at the garage tour what a little beast great to see it on the bike and finished. Is there any videos of it in action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kempy Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Cheers rusty, theres a video in the OS drags pic thread, none of it as a weed blower. Yet. It's a load of fun to ride as a normal bike, even though I'm way to big for it I find it really comfortable compared to the mountain bike so I built a second cruiser for the kids to ride, 3rd one being built at present.

kempy Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Had a decent run at the drags again, for some reason it cant stage on the far lane at all, and there's a bit of an uneven surface 1/2way down which causes a bit of wobble excitement Successful run in the lane closest to the grandstand, Managed a better time of just over 28seconds and top speed of 71.2kph, not bad for some vintage 20" rims! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
