Which chopper is this?

[mckutzy]

That would be pretty funny.... but hey foklifts "drive in reverse"..... why cant this....

I see something like this

Like I said.... we will see if I can pull off what I am thinking. If I can then it will be an amazing build. If not then I turn the motor around. Really simple like

 

[mckutzy]

Ok dropping hints ain't working....

What are you going to build... We all want to know...

 

[ridin_low07]

Lmao... alright. I am trying to use the gearbox off a motorcycle in order to have 5-6 speeds. The motorcycle output shaft is on the left side and spins clockwise. Input shaft is on the right side of the tranny and spins clockwise. The output shaft on the tranny is on the left and spins..... you guessed it counter clockwise.

I guess I would have to see a pic to get what you trying.... but sounds kinda cool...

A big twin trans?

 

[ridin_low07]

One from a 2 stroke dirt bike

 

[mckutzy]

Well we would really like to see the conversion... Sadly the few people that come and show they have done this, don't explain how... Kinda becomes a myth or at least a legend of the possibility...

 

[ridin_low07]

Yeah im gonna be looking around for one that may work. There is a video on YouTube of a mini with dirt bike trans but not clutch.

 

[ridin_low07]

Well.... plans changed unfortunately. Have other financial responsibilities to handle but I am still building this.

 

[ridin_low07]

Pulled out the cut off wheel and got to work. I still need to figure out a rear end setup. Will be running a Kawasaki Tecate front wheel as a rear wheel and a Kawasaki dirtbike wheel up front.

The rear wheel will be getting a sprocket hub machined and welded on so I can run the drum brake on the right side and keep the sprocket lined up with the front sprocket. Also going to be running a RHOX RXSR 22x10-10 4 Ply Street/Course Tire to have nice street performance.

Motor is of course the predator 420 with electric start. I will probably keep it governed for monetary sake. Ill add a cone filter and build my own exhaust.

Front wheel will get a street tire but I am not sure as to which yet..... hadn't seen too many 21" tires that thin. May change my mind and run a 12" x18 Pocket bike wheel.

Any thoughts on my plans?

That's. Not a chopper. This is a chopper. That's a raked out minibike.

We all still want to see your trans standalone conversion. very eager.

It will be a little farther in the future. Don't have the funds to do it on this bike. I'm in a build off and it has to be done by April. Looking into moving here very soon as well so I have to focus on priorities first.

Find a place with a garage!

 

[ridin_low07]

That is most definitely the plan my friend
