Cafe Racer using a Echo 1099 on a mongoose frame

Been wanting to build a bike for awhile. This is my first build and I Plan on this thing screamin up and down the road I live on. This echo leaf lower engine is pretty f***in strong and well I work on the damn this ALL day so I figured “why not put it on a bike”. I have a mongoose bike I found by a dumpster and it was in great condition.

This is the beginning, so all cuts are rough and nothing is pretty. This motor mount I’m making still has a lot of metal to be trimmed off.

After I got mount 60% complete i started on designing a transmission\clutch system

Next I’m gonna be making the clutch panel. I’m gonna weld a sproket to a clutch housing then us a cover to hold bear and shaft for the clutch housing.

I’ll cut that shaft down and make a cap to go over it and bold it to block.
Next update will be on tuesday

Grrrrraaaasssssss taste bad
Peace

Cool my brother in law has an electric start mini 49cc dirtbike that I might make a motorized bike out of.

Finished making a clutch system! This is just rough verson. Feels pretty cool to make some like this and actually see it come together, just takes time.
Fabricating this clutch took a little longer than I though and work was fairly busy so not a lotta early days.

More coming soon

Very Kool idea, on fitting a clutch, need a lot of reduction with that big of sprocket though. Like it...........Curt

How many teeth on the one you have?

 

[Onwaxwings]

24 teeth on clucth sprocket

 

[curtisfox]

A lot most require 15 : 1 reduction, do you plan on jack shaft? You will prolly need one. 40 teeth divided by 24= 1.6. Most engine sprockets are 10 or 11 tooth........Curt

 

[Onwaxwings]

Yeah, running from clutch to jack shaft where the pedals would be. Then running from jack shaft to rear tire

I would check go kart supply and find a #35 chain and sprockets for the front, much smaller, closer spacing. 60 tooth is about the same as 40 tooth as far as size..........Curt
