4-stroke build-off, cruiser entry

My entry is built on a 2012 Giant "Simple Single" aluminum-frame cruiser, purchased new in October 2011 for this build: 49cc Hua Sheng 142F engine, EZM Q-Matic drive, Felt "Abraham Linkage" springer forks, Sturmey-Archer X-FD 70mm drum brake.

Also: Triumph/BSA vintage replica "jackhammer" throttle/grips, "real motorcycle" cruiser-style mirror and front brake lever, old-timey black and alloy "quill" pedals, custom-made spring-loaded chain tensioner, custom-made expanded metal mesh transmission cover, dual center kickstand, non-restrictive stainless steel flextube exhaust, custom vinyl logotype lettering, five coats of professional two-part clearcoat on gas tank, upgraded Sick Bike Parts fuelcock and in-line sintered bronze fuel filter, novolac epoxy gas tank liner (resists ethanol rusting), Bontrager wireless bike computer, GPS handlebar mount, Aheadset® adjustable headset (to allow adjustment of handlebar height).

Not pictured, but installed after photos were taken: cast iron, balanced final pulley in the Q-Matic drive, acquired from EZ Motorbikes; CNC-machined aluminum 56-tooth final sprocket.

This bike will exceed 35 MPH, but that's about as fast as I ride it!

I call her my 1914 Huffington, started life out as a dreaded cranbrook. I made a set of leafspring forks, the laid back seat post is stainless, Shorty pipe that I made out of old handle bars then nickle plated, also if you look closely at the pully, that is a one off solid aluminum bearing delete I made to get rid of the broken oneway bearing. I also made a custom manifold so I could run a CNS v2 carb on my motor lol. Ill post some more pics in a bit today, gotta take some more.

Chainmaker's Whizzer entry above is a very nice bike. And it's now leading in the contest poll. But this is just a single picture of a completed build. And of the eleven rules in Quenton Guenther's instructions for contest entrants, number three is:

"3. Must document start of build with pictures."

Is that rule going to be broken?

 

[MotorbikeMike]

You-all have done a whole bunch of hard work here! And to think that my Electra Cruiser 1 (base bike) still sits outside in the rain for the 3rd year!
I had hoped to get started on it today, but, had to work with customers. If all is in order here, lets get some winners, and get the trophies out to their new homes!
I appreciate everyone's hard work, and NO, I did not vote, BUT I did want too!

Sounds good, Mike. Let's wrap this thing up.

One question: Will the judging adhere to Quenton's list of contest rules? In particular, I'm thinking of rule number 3: Must document start of build with pictures.

I'm looking forward to seeing this contest concluded!
