My First Build "Chelsea" Almost Finished!

All that's left is find a gas tank I like, install a jackshaft, wire the lights, then paint.

Very cool, ABF! Looks very "turn-of-the-century." That's a big beast of a four-stroke...what is it?

Thanks! I'm trying to follow the idea of a BTR or old 1917 Harley/ Indian. Despite how it looks, it's not very heavy. So that motor should push it good

It's an old Tecumseh T-35 153cc 3.5 hp.
Not exacly "legal", but it should be some fun xD It's been my uncles since the late 80's, was on a tiller. Then it was on a Go-Kart, and now it's on this thing! Despite the bad reviews on Tecumseh, this one has ran strong for years. The Carb is the pickiest I've seen, and I did replace all the gaskets.
I plan to run it to a jackshaft then the 5-speed cassette in the back, we'll see how that works

Updated! Painted it!

I painted the frame Maui Blue and the fenders White

More Progress

A little more progress on the looks Yesterday was Chelsea's one year of being built :'D It's been fun!
First thing tomorrow I'm hooking up the front Coaster Brake

Front Coaster brake

Here's pretty much the idea for the front coaster brake, out in the shop working on it now, will post pics of it here soon.

Front Coaster Brake

It works! These were taken right before I added a spring to disengage the brake. But the brake works excellent!

The coaster brake has so much braking and leverage, it lifts the front suspension up xD haha, I'ma have to fix that somehow, I'm loosing braking. Hopefully the added weight of the gas tank will help. We shall see
