7-30-14 Got 1/2 link for bike chain, still a little droopy...hard to get 2 chains to jive.

New Project
Starting where the rubber meets the road.
Front suspension and rear wheel, will keep it a skip tooth. Rims are 2 1/2" wide with 120g spokes.
I might go with a OHV Whizzer motor,or keep it a flathead. OHV will be about 10 hp, flathead about 7 hp.

I ride or look at my bike everyday!
There is always something I can improve or change that makes it better in my opinion. I have changed engine head, lights, battery, engine covers, speedometer, added a tachometer, changed carburetors, changed throttle assembly with new separate kill switch and have changed to a new expansion tube. Today I am adding bags to the rear rack...the list goes on and so does the fun!

Replaced the 9T jackshaft sprocket, trying to extend it's life a little too far.
Considering the chain was at 100% stretch, it should be skipping like mad over the remaining sprocket teeth, but surprisingly it didn't skip at all.

Ride It Then Remove The Engine For A Disassemble
Hi MotorBicycleRacing!
I'm going to ride it to return some rented movies then swap the engine out. I've been breaking my backup engine in and want to do a disassemble to see how everything looks.
