Looks cool but 2 major problems the first being the engine isn't designed to run at this angle, it's a oil slung engine and gets lubricant by dipping the rod connection down into the oil and slinging it on moving parts. At this angle there's no way of knowing if it's even reaching the oil or too much. The second being this is a air cooled engine and comes with a shroud and fins on the flywheel to force air over the head cooling it. It's a good system but if taken away it will over heat and seize, I know from experience from a kid doing just what you are here. It will run for a short time but that's all.

Where does the Springer Mount come from that was attached the the Sportman Seat at 2:44.
@SeymourCycleWorks25 күн бұрын
great question! This was a custom setup using two sets of springs off of other motorcycles with a bent steel round bar with threaded ends so you can bold the springs to the end so there's a stop to change the spring rate and secure the springs.

How were you able to cover the flywheel once you removed the pull start and make it look smooth like that?

I just found your channel and hope you are still building bikes! In the next few months, I will be collecting parts to put a 212 motor on a 2004 Kustom Kruiser Roadster. Your technique is going to be great to make this look 90 years old!

Been wanting to build a board track style bike. Ive also been trying to find a good frame and tank as a starting point. I cant seem to find a supplier for a good frame and tank combo because almost every good website, you either cant buy directly from, or like with these two frames, they came up with expired websites. That or you cant just get a frame because they want to sell you a whole bike. Ive yet to build a motorized bike. Ive been doing my homework and im ready to pull the trigger, but all ive been able to figure out is that they sure dont make building a bike easy.

I'm in your same position right now, but I've been looking at Sportsman Flyer's stuff. Haven't ordered anything yet so I cant speak to quality of parts or experience but it seems like the only option at the moment.

Sportsman Flyer is the only drop loop frame producer easy to order. You can check eBay regularly. Also, head over to here to grab my parts sourcing list where I suggest several options for parts:shorturl.at/lzR18

I left a message 9 months ago asking you what you use on the bottom of the motor to make it look like a round deal on the bottom it looks like a cake pan You still have not answered me and I've asked 2 or 3 other people And nobody's answering me yet you either don't read your comments or you guys have something to hide I'm building 1 I want to know what to do to make the bottom look like that can you help me out
@SeymourCycleWorks3 ай бұрын
Thanks for your patience in my reply! I try to keep up with the comments but sometimes miss them. You can always email me at [email protected] for a more timely response. You're correct, the bottom is simple sheet metal you can repurpose from a cake pan.
@claybornlewis2763 ай бұрын
Why don't anybody that's ever building these things tell us what the hell is going on on the bottom You said it's a something That's as far as you went Is it looks like a cake pan cut up on the bottom I'm building 1 and I would like to build the bottom like that I have no clue what you guys are using or doing but how you're doing it why just nobody ever explain that part you got something to hide
