Tom, Details of the kickstart please. Is it just for show or how do you get it to come out of mesh ? |
| OKTomT:
Thanks for the comments it keeps me posting. sir John go back and view the video on post 145 and it will answer your question. Guy the seat is correct for the time period I am tying to represent which is the teens. I know it is not comfortable but I think in this time period if you did not have to walk or peddle a bicycle you did'nt care how comfortable you rear end was :) . here is a couple of pictures I used to build the saddle. |

Excellent workmanship as always, Tom! Looks period, and to me, looks cushy compared to a tractor seat. Gosh springs, and leather! And it seems wide enough, too. :thumbup: It's the narrow ones that get you. :whip: |

Your doing a great job but what was that seat attached to in the pic. :drool: |

Hello TomT and others- Just thought I'd check back to see any new postings. The bike is just great, and finally, I was able to see the engine videos again. Because of this thread and my interest in similar engines, I have found and read many interesting sites, and viewed some incredible videos showing home-built motorcycle engines. I thank everyone for the links, photos, videos, suggestions, etc, especially TomT for taking the time to answer everyone's questions. Continued good luck TomT. Frank EDIT: Check: "thekneelslider.com" website for some monster engines mounted on bikes! NSU 2000cc single-cylinder engine, gigantic V-twin engines, etc. Interesting concepts.... I guess. |
