Lots of progress & he got some seat time today breaking in the new motor. All that's left is a clutch cover & a support brace for the exhaust. Cruze around the yard

Can't flip it because it puts the chain too far out & the chain then hits the frame. Hope to be done with it tomorrow, got to make an exhaust support bracket, mount the chain guard, make a clutch guard, wire up kill switch, put spacer behind clutch & fit up the chain.

I am putting the sprocket & chain on & the only way it seems to work is if I put 1/4 spacer behind the clutch assy. Is this typical?

Got the pipe & the seat bracket is now welded up. Slowly getting all the parts together for this project.

Here's the bikes I ride, technically I haven't ridden the '70 Sprint yet, still working on it.

Way too high price for me for a "play bike" Not really a fan of the look either. Saw one at a car show that had all kinds of trick road race stuff, it was cool but I would guess the guy has $6k+ in it.

Currently daily drive a '09 Challenger R/T, 345 w/6spd & a '72 C10 SNB 350 w/3spd. Also drive a '69 Road Runner but it mainly just stays in the garage, take it to the track & took it on the Power Tour last year for 1200 miles then broke an axle.

My latest, a Bell Bullitt that Bell released earlier this year.

Making progress, made some brackets for the seat on the pivot end. Not sure what was originally on it for the seat but I made some out of angle. Here's a pic of the thing outside, the blue my boy picked out has metallic and is bright out in the daylight.

Thanks guys, ready to get it all lined out. It's from the local bike show I took my Harley too.

Making progress. Still have to get shocks mounted & make a bracket for the front of the seat.

Ok, the stock set-up sounds like the way to go. Do I need to take the governor out to put that stock set-up? I turned down the end & put a keyway for it to be a straight shaft. It's shorter than it should be but I will see if it will hold up. Not sure how much abuse it will see, my son may...

New to these motors. Should I do away with the governor?

Looking to see if I can get the carb hooked up & working on a 6.5hp generator motor. It seems like it idles really high with this carb & I don't really know if it will work for a mini bike. Also trying to figure out how to hook a cable to the carb.

Making progress. Trying to figure out the best place to source parts & looking for a chrome pipe for the 6.5 motor.
