RUSS Is it a V-Twin or an opposed Twin? I have a few opposed twins but a V twin will fit in there much better and look more like a real bike engine. Think I'm going to buy some parts at the show to do another one but with quite a few changes like more professional parts instead of exclusively using Wheel Horse and home built parts. Still keep it true to the garden tractor theme with lots of tractor parts but make it more stable, balanced and safe while going fast. Doubt I'd trust this one over 15 or 20 mph but it is just a putt around the show bike anyway so not really expecting to go that fast. But it does have the ability to. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 15,924 #56 Posted June 15, 2016 Finally got in a test ride today. It was a little scary because it's hard to turn but the bushings still need to be changed to bearings. Sorry no video but got some more pics. My grandson wants me to build him one when he gets his license! 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Close....... but I have an idea similar. I really didn't want to run a belt all the way through the side of whatever I come up with. Thinking a motor and trans in the rear like your 2 seater but indy car inspired. Edited June 16, 2016 by 19richie66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We chatted about bringing big bikes out for some PA riding but something came up that prevents me from heading east this year... I think I'm gonna make my reservations for next year in a couple weeks just so something doesn't come up! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse46 512 #73 Posted June 17, 2016 @wallfish I've built choppers and bobbers over the years and I think that sits and looks spot on! I really like the use of the front beam and spindles for the bars and the headlight cover, they are the stand out pieces for me I wish I could see it for real. Not sure how well it's gonna steer anyway with that flat profile front tyre? Fun Fun and a bit more Fun 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
