chain issues stingray chopper minibike build

[kstone]

nice...
I did initially have it like that... and i had to actually grind down the spring tab on the brake arm because the chain was hitting it.. it was very close but it was working.. but then the chain fell off after about my 10th ride.. and that was when I switched it all up to try to make it better.

this is how it was initially.

you are correct sir !!

If your going to run a big motor i do suggest welding a support from the bottom and top at the back occs have a weak point in that area and if you don't strengthen that area they can snap under the weight of us adults and added stress of the engines

and if you can weld a nice piece of flat stock will do and if you can even strengthen up right behind the seat post helps too

NICE.. ok ill see what i can do... it scares me at full speed. lol

if you look close, I had to cut the original tube that the seat post went into because the motor wouldnt fit but I welded a tube further back to take its place.

here is the new tensioner i welded on and it seems to be working.
