Whizzer Stretch ---- ed

I didnt go quite as far as bill sugests with the forks, i simply got some replacement bolts and washers and flipped it around. i made the heads of the nuts on the inside. that still didnt quite work so i took the bolts to the grinder and ground off about a 16th from the head of the bolt. its clear, and it fits, but i think im going to go with no front brake- for now.
 
Who Done It?

Dave Miller (up in -- or in your case down in Fullerton CA) made those pipes. He sure can weld.. huh?? I bet you saw my crappy welds & knew I didn't done that aye??? I will never be that talented. Takes me a lot more time to grind my slag than he spends on the whole job. Oh Well - I have fun.

I'm going to do duels on this build and hope to make them to compete in his league. I hear the judge has a seeing eye dog.
 
Mock Up

Making sure it works.


] IMG_1098.jpg Pulley Path & Tension #1

IMG_1099.jpg Crank Set chain MUST agree with #1 in tension. Shorter is much Bedda!

IMG_1101.jpg Final Drive Chain Path is most critical, but easiest to achieve.

Not gonna Powder till later. ANY Suggestions on additional frame adds or mods?? I could add a 12 volt power adapter/port into the old seatpost hole....Or just cap it. Or ????
 
Nice progress pics Zomby! Is that 1/4'' flat bar on the jackshaft mount? Looks like it will be strong as heck.
 
Steel

Not 1/4 just looks that way from angle, used 1/8 on the outside . The bearing hangars are doubled up on both sides. Makes the whole thing appear heavier gauge. So I can use a total of 6 bearings, 2 on each outside and 2 in the center bottom bracket. Thought I might need extra because the final drive pulley is a 9 inch.
 
Howdy that pulley sprocket system is sick.In A good way I dont want to know what math you use for that. Keep up the sick work.....Bill Green Vancouver Whizzer
