Hey everybody, I've been enjoying reading posts here while trying to decide on what way to go with my first project. I should be starting to order parts by this weekend, and would like some feedback on kit selection before I start ordering.
It's come down to two choices.
1. 49cc HS kit's set up with a SBP shift kit.

2. 79cc HF Direct drive setup.

I figure either would be acceptable. The shift kit would be sweet with the 49cc bike, but I'm guessing that the 79 would be ok by itself with direct drive. And I can't find a direct drive for a 79cc setup, so at least for the moment, it would have to be dd until I came up with my own shift setup.
Does anyone make a primary / trans with the secondary shaft to extend from the left side to the right side of the bike? It would be nice to eliminate the extra jackshaft assy and the additional chains required for that setup.
Or what about a swap over at the pedals? Where instead of on the right side, where it would be coming off the jack shaft, the chain to pedal sprocket just drops down from the output sprocket on the primary / trans instead, eliminating the need for the jack shaft kit. Only problem I see (with my limited experience) would be chain alignment between the two. Or, what about running a V-belt from output to pedal assy on the left side? I don't think it would be too hard to weld a old Chevy or Ford pulley to an extended pedal shaft, but would a pulley fit behind the back side of the primary / transmission plate?
Anyway, some thoughts I had.
So, if you could only have one 4 banger, and your choices were a 49cc HS kit's set up with a SBP shift kit, or a 79cc HF Direct drive setup, which would you get? Advantages, disadvantages?
