    Pic of jack shaft. Can you give me your 2 cents?

    This is a Gilson frame I picked up last week. I looks like someone did a modification with new brackets for the jack shaft with grease zerts on them. But question is. How would you change to the other gear on jackshaft. Reverse the back wheel is my guess. I will leave it to you experts to...

    Just bought a Monkey Wards Couple questions

    The jack shaft looks to be reversible. How does that work. Do you reverse the wheel and move the brake cable? Because the chain from motor would have to stay in place on the one sprocket so the wheel has to be moved 180 degrees. The frame I bought has bars where some shocks could go. i assume...

    Not bad for a Sunday.

    This bike was totally disassembled and last Sun. I painted it and assembled it to this point minus seat, throttle cable and brake lever and cable. Probably should have let paint dry a little longer but I was on a mission. What a great day. HEHE

    Went from totally disassembled to almost all put together today. QUESTIONS

Do I back off some. I am worried it might move around but i do have axle tensioners on the bike. And when...

    Question about Foot Pegs ???????????????

    I bought a roller scat cat frame and the footpegs were welded to the frame. So the footpegs would not raise up or give. Well it looks like one of the pegs hit something and ripped it off and caused there to be a hole in the frame where it was mounted. I know this is probably now a weak spot...

    Needed Shocks that will fit Scat Cat and Seat

    The shocks that came on my project are not original and the holes in the top and bottom of shocks are way to big for the shafts they mount on. And that allows the seat to move side to side quite a bit. So figure I need some more original ones. And the seat I got is a terrible homemade one. Its...

    Here is my scat cat project I am needing a few parts for.
