My armybike is done

I thought I posted this thread, but maybee I didnt, or samobeody deleted it?
lost in cyberspace maybe, anyhow, here it comes again.

Still things to do, repaint the emblem, put on the light, clean up all wires and make it nicer etc etc. But it runs very well. Lots of torque and very easy to start.

Nice looking build Losenup.Spooky Tooth Cycles has two sizes of retro seats cheap that you are looking for.

I have now mounted the light. I realized that it was brass under the original paint. So I started to sandpaper it and polish, nicely done I thought to myself.....then to my surprise I found another light, EXACTLY the same!! But on another bike I have lying. Jolly-good, two is better than one i thought and started to sandpapper and polish that one aswell.
...my hands are really sore now, but it was worth it

The killswitch doesnt work, how do I connect that more exactly?

the red wire from throttle assy goes to the blue (or green) wire coming off magneto.
the black wire to black wire, or just ground it to the frame

 

[losenup]

Ive fixed the killswitch. In my manual it says I could ground either blue or black cabel (to the coil), but only the blue cable worked grounding.

Very cool. Quality build. Tell me more about that front drum brake.

[losenup]

Thank you all


I havent had apart the drumbrake in picies. But its a really weird construction.
When you pull the lever, the center-screw in the center of the steering-wheel (the black nobb) pops upp and pulls on a shaft inside the frame which leads to a wire which pulls the lever on the front brake and the brakes then act like a normal drumbrake.
You can also adjust the frontbrake by screwing the black nobb, back and forth (eehm...my english might be somewhat poor ... that I like.

 

[losenup]

Question...will the power be enough for two 3W in the front an one 3W in the back (9W in total)?

 

[vintagebiker]

Very nice looking.
Yeah I would agree, paint the motor and maybe some canvas army type saddle bags on the rear carrier.

 

[losenup]

Like this guys armybike, with bags!?
