Your welding and fabrication skills are great, do you do this for a living?

[vrgt2003]

Thanks, I can't take credit for the fabrication skills, I have someone in my shop who has the fabrications skills. This is the first bike project we have ever attempted. We are a industrial controls manufacturer with a little spare time to has some fun.

i love the kick starter ideal.looks like your gonna use a freewheel sprocket and chain to the cranks shaft/flywheel somehow.

Nice project. It should move along well with that engine. Watch the motor mount and frame though. You'll have quite a bit of torque twist going on.

[vrgt2003]

Modified a #41, 48 Tooth Aluminum sprocket and fabricated an adaptor to fit the sprocket to the Worksman Hub.


Adaptor will mount to the hub with 9, 1/4-20 Flat Heads, Nuts, & Washers.


Sprocket mounts to the Hub with 8, 5/16-18 Flat Heads.


Put the wheel and chain back on for a quick look.


The kick starter will use a freewheel but we will develop a ratchet on the crank arm to turn the freewheel that we hope will be enough to start the engine.

We plan to beef up the motor mounting plate with extra weld and a few gussets.

Added a new bottom bracket with bushings for the pedal shaft.


Added a kick starter sprocket and crank arm and pedal to engage the freewheel to kick start the engine.


Pedals can be rotated up ready for the kick start.


Right or left pedal can be used for kick starting as well as foot rests.

like the kick starter.good thinking.

[keystone]

nice looking build.That kickstart setup reminds me of the type used on the old maytag gasoline washing machine engines.
