Hard Rock, Hard Box, FireBelly Style

[FireBellyCycles]

It was high time for some suspension under the 4 stroke. This is a very comfortable ride. The v brakes on the front improved the braking quite a bit but I have a feeling these Magura hydraulic rim brakes are just what mom would want me use! The new motor mount is a huge improvement over the last which was a huge improvement over the kit mount; super rigid!

P.S. Changin out drive chain so it's not in the pic.

Looks good and well made. You'll like the Maguras. I have them on a vintage Proflex full suspension and they are the best thing this side of discs.

BTW, have I missed something, what's under the cover?

NICE JOB, excellent tensioner treatment. these seem to be one of the constant challenges of execution.

The cover and under is the FireBelly "Hard Box" 4 stroke transmission. http://www.motoredbikes.com/showthread.php?t=19124
On the end of the muffler is a supertrap tuneable exhaust tip.
I used the tensioner for a mile to brake in (stretch) the chain enough to remove 2 links and run w/o it. They are easy to make. I mill the slots but another guy gave instructions how he does it in his thread.
