PM me if I can help. can recommend! you could also try sprockets.co.nz or something, they do them with the boss on them already. not cheap from memory, but could be the solution for people with no machining hookups 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 I got a clutch lever from an old 20s bike to use for my front brake lever, it need serous work to make it usable but its a good size, it was bent 90 degrees and its made from brass. also I got a throttle, that also needed fettleing to make fit, I wanted black hand grips but ended up with some strange ones witch look like coke cola, got a brake cable and a throttle cable, used a inner wire clamp off a Kohler engine to mount the cable to the throttle lever on the engine, need to make a return spring, All thats needs to be done now is the seat screwed on and the controls bolted on and it should go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Well fuck that thing goes hard, you wouldn't want to go any faster on it, it bakes up the rear tire and throws you back on the seat, its over 300cc 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Must have got the gearing in the sweet spot by sounds of it. Industrial motors deliver torque in rather impressive fashion, All of it! Fucking instantly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Tiny tyres are mint burn em up and repeat cheap as. Your gonna need front brakes so you can do stand up donuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Would say the gearing is bang on, brake are inadequate I need to key the sprockets to the shaft, its been pretty hard on the holes, I will get a new bit of bright bar rather than black so its a tighter fit, Went flying across the nabours grass and carved a big muddy patch along it for about 70 meters then got stuck in front of her as she came around the corner. Off to look at a welding job now, going to take this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 So when you chucking your phone in your pocket with a gps top speed app running so you can tell us how fast it actually is? Looking good. Glad you have finally arrived with a running product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Actual Kph multiplied by rim size equals how fast it feels. Also known as Smiles per hour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 gearing + rimsize + max rpm = just under 30 mph, it gets there very quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 I have the lone of some TruTest alloy rims I am going to copy and cast, I am thinking I can pretty much make a frame for the cost of the steel and my time, the wheels will cost a bit to make but I already have a few people who want them, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Let me know what pipe you use...I've got one of those benders and have never used it (successfully) either. Keen to try... but the one attempt just crushed the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keen to try... but the one attempt just crushed the pipe. The pipe I made the red bike out was 27mm with about a 3mm wall. I also filled it with sand. I have noticed with the swages for this bender it has the pipe size cast into them but the pipe is way too lose, I want to bend 7/8" and 1", I will take the swage that is the next size down and machine it so the next size up pipe is a tight fit if you know what I mean? With thees benders you should never expect good results with out modifying the swages or filling the pipe with sand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
