Motor Bike with Side-Car

[Kestrel Motors Inc.]

I found the frame and engine for it today. My brother started a motorbike once and I'm gonna finish it and put on a side-car on it. All he did was put on the motor plate on it and find an engine. He started it so I can keep the pedals on it and it will be legal to drive on the rode... It's a Briggs and Stratton, it's not the 7 horse I wanted to put on it, but I think that it's a 2 or 3 horse... I'll post pics later.

I cut the top bar today, and put in a curve so that the engine will fit. The next thing that I need to do is get a large v-belt pulley for the back wheel, and I'll be ready to mock it all up.

Here's the frame, before and after putting the new bar in...

That'll do it. Very inventive. As far as the engine goes, most states only allow around 2hp anyway. That would be like a 49cc engine. I think the smaller engine will get you past the cops better.
Keep up the good work and keep your progress posted.
