thanks, it was the look i was going for, love odyssey's, only wish i could find a500cc or so 4 wheeler engine to get reverse and no clutch, did aquire a 500 honda, would give more power, but still no reverse!

correct I added a bearing right next to the sprocket on the axel, used my biggest sprocket and had no jumping of teeth, YES, put on my smaller wheels, to make a smaller gear ratio plus these have ALOT less traction and it seems to work better. too bad it does'nt look as good as with the larger...

This is the conclusion that i have come to as well, need to move the pillow block from the jackshaft to the axel under the center jackshaft mount, see if it works better.

Interesting concept, would seem to solve a problem! HMMMMM!

no, i saw it online and was saying this is what would work best if you wanted to have suspension on all 4 wheels, it would take u-joints and such.

You think a bearing near the axel sprocket would stop the chain from slipping?

Well that picture was before the rebuild, showing that it was waaaay to light, here is the rebuilt jackshaft brace, but the chain still slips. today i used my 35 tooth sprocket ,straight to the axel and it was much better, 35 tooth is way to small though, only problem is to tighten the chain i...

Nice build, must have had quite a few bikes laying around, bet it's a kick to ride!

This kind of setup would be best for the rear drive, might be tricky to build it tho!

Well I think i have figured out my picture posting problem so here goes, It seems that no matter how tight i get the chain, it slips, don't know if there is flex in the frame,or the axel or the motor mount, but i need to find out! Wondering if 1" axel would flex if the bearings were 23" apart...

I agree, the man made an incredible transmission, kinda makes me think i can do a gearbox with a reverse in her, with a little experimenting! sweet............

Wow $20 bux does'nt sound too bad, is that wheel and tire complete! gonna be a sweet ride!

what if it is your own video, and what format/resolution should it be. Just curious

full rear suspension would be a major thing to fab up, u-joints, brakes, shocks ...

next step I Solved my no spark and neutral light prob, hot wire had broken off the back of the switch, found a handa manual online PDF ($6.95 later) had wrong wire going to coil. I have some more pics, first , here's a pic of the fourtrax I spoke of in my last post (pretty big smile there) and...
