Project looking good and going to be fast! Those Powell’s amaze me how the rear suspension is just that one spring and it is so hidden away. Very cool project!

 

[red baron]

I love this build

 

[chipper]

Thanks Guys , there is a cheater spring inside the big spring to stiffen her up a bit , I'm going to do full assembly and test run then she'll get tore down for powder coating , I'm modifying the Driven system and also re-work the brake pedal so assembly and testing is a must to get all the small things correct the first time ( I hope ) :laugh:

I have a nice head or two for that motor!! Probably would be too dangerous for you to ride it. Might have to get it to David.

Ole That kind of preformance stuff is over Angelo’s head . He is slow and can’t help it . Although send me a message on Facebook and tell me what it is . My brother wants me to build him a big small block .

It's come a long way from that rust hunk of junk I hauled down from PA last summer :laugh:

Looks good Ang, keep up the work!

 

[chipper]

I hate to admit it but I owe a big shout out to [MENTION=26262]David wulf[/MENTION] for taking time out of his ( nothing better to do ) busy retirement schedule to re-pop a Powell kickstand for me . It probably won't work and need to be completely redesigned but it's the thought that counts , thanks Buddy !

 

[David wulf]

Oh your so very welcome Angelo , next time I may just charge you for one . Lol

 

[Dr. Shop Teacher]

Damn, Ang!

 

[Sport King Eric]

Wow Just found this build, I'm hooked!!

I just read a bit about the Powell brothers history. Their machines are pretty high on the cool scale. And that includes the radios, cars, trucks and mini/trail bikes. I gotta get a bigger screen with more resolution.
Great projects here.

A little action tonight, I welded on the new foot board and filled 2 unused holes in the top frame rails .

Looking good Angelo… Almost need a welding helmet to protect my eyes when looking at your pictures LOL
