Stingray Squeeze!

[enigma]

I've been longing for gears, the torque converter just always seems to shift early, generate too much dust and heat, etc.
I had an extra Stingray XL that I've been holding onto and just found an engine for it, it's a very tight fit, but should be pretty cool. I plan to mount the engine to this frame, then swap over the springers and install hydraulic discs, My #1 goal is to avoid using a jackshaft on this one, here's what I've got so far:

Yep, I tend to dive into 3 or 4 projects at once but rarely stop to reorganize, seems if I clean my garage I can never find anythin!:mad2:
BTW: Can you get me a slide and cap for this Dekni PZ26?

progress

Engine is mounted, lining it up was tough, may have to run a different intake... I'm off to clean the garage:thumbsup:

Looks awesome enigma. Keep us updated

Opted to give it a bit of a stretch and run a beefier rear assembly. I also will have to run a gravity tank on this one, it's not mounted but you can get the idea... also have some cool forward controls, a tach and a few more goodies to come. Thye tire was originally going to be mounted on the scwinn rim, then I found the Ninja 250 wheel and it's a perfect fit.

I don't have the cap alone, only the complete carbs.

Rode it today! Need to drop a few teeth off the back, but feels pretty good.

Thats pretty sweet Enigma! Not trying to change the subject but i just picked up a 1953 junior sting-ray, it has the real wide slick in the back and is all original. Im trying to find out how much its worth so maybe i can sell it.

The fork mounted tool bag and matching saddle make it perfect.

Gack to the top!

Didnt you get this thing street legal?
How did you go about that? Did you have to title it as a custom and get it inspected?

 

[enigma]

I had to apply for a Manufactured Vehicle VIN, then have a couple of Vin Checks, but in Indiana they do not make you go thru any safety inspections, per se, they just make sure you have all the required lights, horn, flashers, etc. The officer originally told me i had to call State Police for a safety inspection, but the BMV informed us that they no longer do that! Here are some recent photos, it has 3000 miles on it now (That's my 15 year old is riding it)

Man that is really nice how cool it would be to have a motorcycle and still hang on to your childhood by making it a stingray:thumbsup:

 

[enigma]

LOL!
I'm always being asked by harley riders who pull up next to me why i have a bicycle tire on the front, once i explain that it's indeed a bicycle I'm riding, they freak out!

 

[KB2ROCKET]

Im guessing that people would love to buy one of those that has already been registered
.
you could open up the first stingray motorcycle factory

 

[Bananas for Bonanzas]
