2nd Build - Project 'Hippie Hater'

This is the second bike I've built completely from scratch. The first one I built used a 20" rear tire dthat didn't fulfill my need for speed, so this one has a complete jack-shaft kit with a 5 speed rear wheel and suicide shifter. This bike is also obviously a kick start only.

Now I realize that I have broke the rules a little bit and was unable to keep the peddle part of the bike...so technically speaking its just a tiny motorcycle. I haven't got an actually speed on the bike but I'm guessing about 45-50 kmh on 20" tires.

I still have to tear it back down and paint it. The bike has a full lighting system running off of a small 12V battery. I want to upgrade the rear brake to a disc but haven't quite figured out how to hook up the disc to the wheel yet though.

Anyways, I'll post the finished bike pics in a week or 2. Comments, questions and criticism are always welcome.

Thanks guys. I'll take a few pics of the jackshft set up and post them as soon as I get the chance
 
Hey guys,

Here's the jackshaft pics I promised. Basically I cut a bottom bracket off another bike, split it and pressed two 7/8" bearings into it. I then welded the sprocket from a pedal back break system on one side and a 36 tooth sprocket on the other. I wanted to make it servicible but wasn't able to...oh well, next time.

I've started cutting up an older chopper project and shortened it up quite a bit. I'm putting the jackshaft in this weekend and should have pics up within the next 2 weeks.

Cheers
