Driven clutch directly on the rear axle?

 

[ogygopsis]

Hello Budy, Just looking over your drawings for a drag bike. You may already be familiar with it; but just in case you're not; I want you to Google "Motorcycle rake and trail" and use the information in your calculations. It's a concept that most people never heard of but without it you could end up as one of You Tube's most spectacular crashes of 2014. Good luck. Ogy

 

[matt2]

All I can say is pictures of the first race it could be spectacular!!!! LOL have fun and be careful. Although buckeye the build could take so long we won't have to worry about you, because you could be to old to ride it. LOL Have fun buckeye and keep the pictures coming.

 

[matt2]

Sorry I thought it said buckeye and I would have some fun.

 

[bikebudy]

Driven clutch directly on the rear axle?

Yes, that is what I was thinking !

I will check out Motorcycle rake and trail just to see what's up.


Just one of the many sites under the topic & Thanks Ogy
