azbill's EZM stretch project

last try got deleted ???
one more time... (pics are at the 'other' place I am known to be )

a few people have asked for pics of my not-finished-yet stretch
the bike is a Micargi Mustang GTS (x-mas present)
I am still mid build and am waiting for an in-frame tank---azvinnie (my son-in-law) is making it (his first time making one) the tape is to protect paint during tank fitting
I have a budget of 0$, so am making it with what I have available
(I sold a back wheel and other parts to finance the sprocket/adapter I got from Jim -- thanks Elmo)
I am doing a lot of measuring to get everything ready for the drive train swap from my Jaguar
(I need a bike Mon-Fri to take oldest grandkid to school, so I need to be up n running quickly)

1st pic is full side view showing whole bike
2nd pic showing Jim's sprocket (72T) and hd coaster wheel (12ga spokes)
3rd + 4th pic are MC mirrors I got on the bay and the seat post clamps I used to mount the mirrors
5th pic shows motor mount and pedal chain routing
I changed pedal sprocket to a 36T to make it easy to pedal with the girls/trailer, and routed chain under engine to lower the center of gravity (ie...better handling)
the motor mount is clamped to bottom tube with tensioner brackets and exhaust clamp saddles
the bracket on the seat post is to stabilize the engine/trans from side-to-side twist (bracket comes from an old seat post mounted rack)
I hope I have the patience to wait for Vinnie to do the tank , I am dieing to ride this bike

cargo,,,
the light is a driving light modded to fit a 20w halogen bulb
(the 3 bulbs in a pack deal from hardware store)

I use a 12v 7ah battery for it and the rear 6 led tail light

there are no streetlights in my town (makes for better desert stargazing), which makes for very dark at night, but this set-up is pretty bright and works very well,

I was even stopped by a cop one night that thought I was a motorcycle with no plate !!!

Very nice ride! The carriage is perfect that is some fine craftsman ship!

Gorgeous ride. How much quieter is your engine with your exhaust than without?

 

[azbill]

I can hear the girls coversation/bickering behind me with the exhaust as it is
I did try it without the endcap, but I couldn't even hear the wind in my ears anymore

I finally broke the 10,000 mile barrier on my bike !!!

this little engine with the Q-Matic drive is a very reliable work horse

I still have done nothing to the engine but change the oil !!!

That is one fine looking ride...

And that has got to be a world record for most miles on an MB
