Well...the fender hit....but it was bent...a little persuasion with a sledge and it clears nicely now. However, the scrub brake is almost worn through (looks like it was a cast aluminum piece originally....still not sure how I'm gonna fix that! )....anyway is pretty close....but if my eyeballs are correctly calibrated....I think the holes in the frame are 3/4" and my bearings are 5/8".....so while I'm at it....I'll just move the axle further back a leetle bitty bit.

Now....width wise....got about 1 1/4" to work with between tire width and frame width....so doable...but like I said ....pretty tight.

Oh my oh my....just checked some "parts" for the front wheel! THEY'LL WORK!

If I can pull it off....(and trust me....it won't be easy...) this will be something not seen before!

Another thing: originally, this was going to have a 10" wheel, an 11 tooth clutch and 60 tooth sprocket.

Now...it's 12 tooth clutch, 13" tire, and 60 tooth sprocket.

Now....it is a mini- bike and I'm a skinny guy...so...it's probably ok.

(And probably faster than sanity allows for a Poboy build for a nearly 6 decade old rider!)

This sounds Great! Much better than last weekend. Glad to hear you are working on this.

I just found a $40 check from my State tax refund. Woo Hoo now I can buy a part too.

:lolgoku: I do believe if I do finish this build...I'm going to have to start a "Cliff notebuild thread"....

...and if I need any technical data...I can ask Bob AKA "Cliff Claven"....

Those Incas were real men. probably did it barefoot in a cloth diaper too!
But Yes a FR head would be hard.

Arrgh! I was finally going to mock up the rear wheel today. Well, after hunting for 15 minutes to find the clutch, I found out it doesn't fit!

See....the original plan was a 2hp B&S . Didn't even think about the 3.5 Tech having a bigger pto! DOH!

Time to order a new clutch!

Just saying....

The human head weighs 8 pounds!

" Holy. crap Batman! GABMAN has posted his shortest post ever!"

"Don't be fooled Robin....as we speak...he is undoubtedly perusing the entire internet studying human skulls dating back to Cro-Magnum or even the FR age..."

All part of his evil plan : soon....all of Gotham will have their computers tied up with TMI!"
