Wow, that is cool. I can see a LOT of work went into this. It looks good! Must be a dream to ride.

[@itsmetibbs]

I wish I had the skills to build something like this. You are absolutely awesome!

[@StupidEarthlings]

Well..how much of this was purchased vs "built"? Im guessing 4k plus invested? Be honest bro.

[@StupidEarthlings]

In fact im betting, not guessing anymore.

[@EURIPODES]

Thats some nice fabrication. I'm inspired

[@Thedakidd1]

@Kara0ki I simply cut one drive ring down in size useing one of those cheap batery driven skill saws, then used stainless steel screws to put the 2 rings together. The bearings on my clutch drive did go bad, excess forces and weight to handle. So I added a third bearing buy widening the outside plate enough to accept one more bearing, and welding a pieace of tube that I had lieing around to cover the bearing up with. Works great.

[@Kara0ki]

@Kara0ki Ah, yes. I can see the tooling marks on the ring @ 3:55. Still a very clean cut. Nice thing about the dual belt is, if ya throw a belt, you can still limp home on 1 belt. But im guessing you would get double the life on the belts since they share the drive load.

[@Kara0ki]

@Thedakidd1 Is the double-drive ring custom built for you or did u just fuse 2 of them together somehow? also i noticed you added an auxiliary spring on the belt tensioner. smart move. i had to do that on my bike as well. i was getting belt slippage when going up hills or into a really strong headwind. great job on the bike!

@idnbi This is a StreetFighter design, found at atomiczombie

@gio59con I'm sorry, I'm the one who mis-read your post. I thought you said I was insensitive to this issue. We're on the same thinking, except that I want people to have their own power, not depending on a government or corporation to bring it to their home. We have many energy options, but we're not allowed to develop that power b/c the govs or corps will not make money. What if families could live well on 1 - 3 gallons of alcohol per day, using a small home generator & bikes like this one?

[@Marleyites]

@gio59con This engine can also burn alcohol, which can be made at home & causes little pollution in making it and burning it. To produce electricity, have to use nuclear or coal. Both are bad - both very polluting. Do you think electric energy is non-polluting? Electric motors for vehicles use batteries - which cause pollution by making & disposal. Even if this small engine used gasoline, it uses very little. We could grow hemp & distill alcohol from hemp for fuel & use same engines we have now.

[@Marleyites]

@gio59con Why are you suggesting throw away the engine & get electric instead?

[@Thedakidd1]

The Bike weighs something like 135 Lbs with a motor installed

[@Thedakidd1]

Been a long time since I got pipe, and carb. I just used the internet, and searched for suppliers' if I remember correctly.....

[@TheGr8scott]

That is just ridiculous! I could design something better then that in less then five minutes!
