Thanks Guys
Thanks Guys, piont taken on every bit of the advice recieved. Thanks Dave On the blue locktite tip, Learned that on my Dad's 66cc China Girl. Everything tried to fall off of it every mile and a half.
Now, on the weight issue, I built an all steel 3 1/2 HP Briggs with an 8 inch industrial trolly wheel for a friction roller/with jackshaft, sprockets (all 3/4 steel) shaft that is. And the strong steel rack needed to feciletate this monstocity of mine 11 yrs. ago. 45 MPH ,You want to talk about Heavy!! Live and learn. On this build I'm going aluminum 1/2 jackshaft, Nylon (33% glass fiber) pulleys,. Thick gauge aluminum angle rack, light pillow block or equivelent bearings for jackshaft. I'm calling Station to see if I can respring a little pocketbike style Centrifical clutch instead of that big old heavy Max torque clutch so it will operate properly on a four stroke.
My only concern is there will be a lot of aluminum. Aluminum doe's not handle vibration stress very well as one of you have stated concerning the aluminum Mongoose. But they still make air planes out of the stuff. No doubt it will still feel a little Butt heavy also. And won't stand on a regular kickstand. It will need a workman type kickstand jobby. Anyway, it all works on paper.
Oh, and don't forget that my swingarm is strong steel,probably chromemolly. My whole drivetrain will be built upon this platform. Nothing but me and a couple 1/2 pound parts are directly on the aluminum portion of the bike. I'm not a fan of unsprung weight but this is not a $20,000 superbike either. That dosn't mean Professor isn't correct in that most guys might still find it to Butt heavy. I am 6'3 235 lbs. I think I will still dominate the bike. I just like nothing but bike in front of me. Go figure
