Not looking bad so far, I excited to see how this comes out since it will more be like my bike than anything else.

Weird...
I got given a full size chopper style bike (with a 360cc engine in it) & decided I won't put it on the road (too much hassle).
So I figured, I'd put a lawnmower engine in it & run it using a long 'vee' belt.
And use the engine in a gocart.
But,
wait for it,
Its got the exact same wheels & the exact same engine as yours!!

I'm now wondering if I should see whats involved in getting it on the road (with a full size engine) instead of making a 'funny bike' out of it.

A SPROCKET!!1one!!

plus the bike will now include a CVT

 

[Raywelder]

Wow, Homemade sprocket, Very nice! Never seen anyone do that.

How did you do that with the picture of the CVT
I think your copying my project! jk except I dont need sprockets!

 

[tykenfitz]

How do you know where to drill to make ur own sprocket?

CAD, using the program Sprocketeer

heres a link http://idleamusements.com/Software/sprocketeer2.htm

How did you do that with the picture of the CVT

15 sec exposure with a led ball like those sprint commercials

 

[tykenfitz]

sweet program I'd try to make 1 if i had a dril press

 

[BAMBY]

the cvt will add soo much to this martyrcicle!
the look of a belt will rock. (like a primary drive on a occ bike.)
the extra bottom and top end will kick butt too.

gratz on the sproket!

gotta love teh pride and satisfaction you get from drilling a ton of holes and having your whole bench covered in curly-Q metal drill shavings (cant think of teh rite word...)

8"!!! dayyyy-ummmm that beats the out of my curly-Q record.
they should make a guinness record for drill curlys!!! lolllz good night all.
