As most of you know, my next project is based on a 4 stroke design. After seeing that ocscully quit his belt drive project, I decided to kind of pick off where he left off. I found the source for the centrifugal clutch:

Scroll down to centrifugal pulley clutches. If I got a v belt, I could get a clutch assembly that wouldn't require a shim, it would just bolt right on. I would then need to run it to a jackshaft to get the reduction right. This is where I hit a bump. I can't find any v belt jackshafts anywhere. I would then need to put a pulley on the wheel, which I'm not sure how to connect either. I have 1/3 of the equation and need your help. The bike I'm using is a single speed Schwinn Corvette. If any fabrication needed to be done, I have access to MIG welders, grinders, etc.
Would I need to widen the rear stays? Where can I get a jackshaft? V belt or timing belt?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Jon
