Jackshaft jackshaft\shift kit

Graucho had a good idea for one. sturdy and solid. i ended up buying all the parts to make one for my new build. theres no way it will break and it looks nice. You take two 3/4" or 5/8" pillow block bearings then buy a 3/4" or 5/8" jackshaft rod then 2 3/4' or 5/8" shaft collars than your sprockets.
go to my motorized bike forum and go under 4 strokes and look at the pictures of it.
the link is in my signature.

Thanks,
Cody
 
The question Spitfyre is the following,is this a means to an end? or is the actual designing&tinkering what really turns you on.Do you have a background in metal working and more importantly do you have the needed equipment and, if you don't have a wellequipped shop,are you persistent and a glutton for punishment,with time on your hands.
 
the freewheel adapter will cost you another $75+ on top of that $30.

:(:( Try on top of $44.24 (think shipping). I'm thinking about going from a cruiser to a multi speed bike (4th build 2 engines) so I can mount a jackshaft kit. I'm reading thread after thread about how good they are, not only for a choice of gears but to cut the RPM's on the engine down thus a prolonged life...hopefully. Although there might be a problem there. As, I ride it at the moment, I'm riding just above the power band (the point that the engine smooths out), and well you will understand reading my requirements

Looking at the 3 kits that SBP has, I eliminated the top model (actual product is the same as the mid priced except for tools), as I don't need any tools.

In a quandary as to which one to get of the remaining two. Here is my requirements.... I have a 80cc standard clutch engine. I weigh 210#, I don't ride the bike as constant transportation (it's a toy). I live in Birmingham, AL and hills won't be a factor as my present set-up does quite well all things considering. I don't horse around ie dog the c*ap out of it. And MOST of all I'm not looking for speed (this is where my concern as to the power band is) as my present set-up hoofs along FASTER then I really want to go on a bicycle. I've had enough mishaps in the past 62 years, I don't need to add another one, besides it's taking longer then it used to heal this well used and abused body:D.

Would the $159.00 (bottom line) kit serve my purpose or should I really upgrade. Would like to hear from those that have/has the bottom of the line kit and hear as to how they are holding up for you. I want something that will be good for sometime even tho the engines are and c*ap out....I don't have a problem replacing a engine every now and then.

Why I ever got into these motored bikes is beyond me....but they are sure fun.
 
Currently the ONLY difference between the Standard kit and HD is the HD White Freewheel (HD FW). The standard kit comes with a Dicta FW that generally works fine for lighter folks who have stock engines. The HD FW can stand up to kick starting, high compression, etc.

Regardless we do warranty the Standard Dicta FW, and you can always upgrade later.

How long is the standard dicta freewheel
warranty?
 
Pablo...thanks. So as you say the only difference at this time is the the HDFW. So if I want to upgrade at a later time, the HDFW will be what $69.95 + ship? And I will have essentially a HD shift kit.
 
I put a sbp shift kit onmy single speed beach cruiser and liked it alot better than the stock set up for sure. Now ive put a shimono inter 7 rear hub with drum brake. WOW!!! Crawl up any hill in 1st and run 40 in 7th no problem and tops out at 44!!! Thats miles per hour! Scarry on a green line beach cruiser but about 1000 times more fun!!
