first time mini chopper

[jmorey92]

im building a mini copper from some scedule 40 pipe i had laying around its only going to have one bottom pipe. 20in bike tire for front and snowmobile tire for back using a 5hp briggs with a 1in shaft for the engine and using a comet 1in bore clutch 10 tooth 40-41 chain cent. clutchs. and a 60 tooth or 72 rear sproket not quite sure of rear tire size but looking to get at least 35 out of it. sorry for the crude pic but this is what going for.

how will you mount an engine and rear tire with a single bottom pipe? and what do u mean by a snowmobile tire? and your pic isnt showing up

ya pic is giving me problems but it was just ms paint and i ment a snowmobile trailer tire .

engine mounting plate will weld on bottom rail the bolt enigine to that simple i think.

rear tire mount. spliting off to 2 pieces at end it will look like this ---[ (tire goes here)...

its hard to see but my comp has virus and wont let me upload pics to it. so...

im using a snowmobile trailer as well for my next mini, not sure if its going to end up being a chopper or just a bike but we will see. what makes you want to use only one bottom rail vs two
