As promised here is the one I'm working on.

 

looks like a bmx bike frame. what type of motor is that from

 

I'm still a little curious how the thing is standing up?!?!?

 

It's a 8.5 hp wisconsin robin I got it off a paint mixer and the fraim I don't know what it is my friend gave it to me. And you were asking how it is standing up. There is a kick stand its behind the rear tire on the other side of the bike that is why you can't see it.

 

I got board one day and I just started to build it not knowing what I was building.

Thing is butt ugly huh

 

LMAOROF!!! Wow, tha'ts about as getto a contraption as I've ever seen Yeah, it looks like you had waay to much time to kill. You aint gonn atry to ride it I hope, judging from appearences that thiing is gonna fold up first pot hole you hit....might not even make it past you sitting on it as far as that goes Frickin awesome man!!

 

Oh man its a bitch to ride and yeah it actually holds up I've gone about 25 on it and it held up just fine it really hurt my *** with out that seat though.

 

Now why'd you have to post back with that I cant believe you rode that bad boy/ I think all the thin air in Colorado is really making you crazy. Did at least one of your neighbors make a point to come out and laugh at you?!! I hope so, you need to bring it to a track and run that thing in a motorcycle class, or get'er all shined up for warm summer crusing of the strip with all the crotch rocket boys I'll bet all the chicks in the neighborhood came runnin, you got bling baby, spoke wheels-chrome, chopper, I'm now jealious, I know it's impossible to duplicate an original, but the checks in the mail, I want one Just dont know if it'd hold up to all our cornfed women back here

 

get some paint for it. rattle can would take care of that. i dont know if im going to still build a chopper i might as well build a full size one if i do it. but since im prob gonna keep the z i think im going to spend the money i would on the chopper for the ls1 but lets keep this post open

 

Hey going back to that smog pump what is it possable to instead of putting air into my exhoust to doing into my intake.

 

Heres a pic of a wagon I'm building for a guy now.

 

i wish my old radio flyer was like that i would be king of the neighborhood

 

you mean king of the trailer park.

 

no im azn not white

 

AZN huh?

 

I would say IBTL, but someone saw fit that this topic stay open...

cool idea though

 

its cuz me and ede go way back.

 

Aqua FBody are you using a bicycle chain or minibike chain? If you're using a minibike chain how did change the sprockets? I got a gokart setup but the clutch won't work with a bicycle chain and I can't change the sprocket on the clutch.

 

lol that thing is cool

 

f5 where are you in the bay area. me and semiller are in the east bay. tri valley
also what is the dif. between a bike chain and a mini bike chain

 

Near Hayward and Oakland but, I'm moving to Chico (the import zone ) in a few months. The difference between a mini bike chain is pitch, roller diameter, roller width and pin diameter. I may have found a way to put a 10HP motor on an old bike I found.

 

Ok well you guys have me convinced now to build one too. As soon as I get a new job (hopefully by next week) then I'll start ordering parts.

I have a few questions though....

1. Does anyone have a list of all the parts needed? I know most of them but don't want to forget the little things.

2. Do most people use the gas tank for looks only or run a line from it to the engine? Most of the pics I've seen still have the original tank still on the engine.

3. Where would I go about looking for a good 10hp engine to use? Rebuilding it is not an issue and I rather do that then pay hundreds of dollars for one.

4. What exactly does a jackshaft do? I've been trying to figure out what they are and why only some bikes have them.

Thanks for any help you can give.

 

umm gas tanks seen them both ways dont know about the parts list

 

I'm using a 4.5HP mower motor and if it works out okay I will switch to the 10HP motor, and yes it will be running vertical thanks to this little gear thing I found, it fits directly to the crank shaft of the motor but, it's not a full 90* bend so the motor will be leaning out a bit.

 

paul have you built it yet. i just broke down and bought a pocket rocket.

 

Never built it. I ended up buying another car to restore instead. Not an F-Body but I need to diversify so when I open my resto shop I have done a variety of cars.

 

they will cost ne where from 600 if you got a motor to 2000 if you want a cool one, i've got about 1000 into mine thats for everyting from pipe for frame to wheels, but its not all the good stuff
the last one i did cost 850 to build and its kinda ****ty
they are not cheap to build or easy

 

its a bike chane i welded up a new sprocket to the clutch it likes to slip off and im still havent havent gotten the gear shifter to work right
