awesome looking bits of kit there, I just hope your spokes are up to the job. Being the manly sort that you are your grip on the handlebars shouldn't be a problem. :P

I want that motor running to a 4speed Royal Enfield gearbox in a bobber frame, hmmm fun

hmmmm don't tempt me with the old frame, I might end up forking out the postage to Ipswich Queensland. It would be worth it for a custom frame like that. Merry Christmas everyone.

Hey there, I will also be looking forward to the new build and your experiences with CroMoly. Will you be using a mig or tig when you weld it ? I thought it could only be tig welded. I will also like to see how you fit the bigger motor and higher voltage packs into the same size frame too. Good...

Thats one hell of a motor you have there. I think you might have to register whatever bike you build to make a home for that beast. Might I suggest using a 4 speed gearbox from a pre-unit royal enfield for the gearbox to go with that monster, they are built to cope with 25hp 500cc ICE motors...

The bike looks great, and sounds like the performance is giving you a great deal of pleasure. I do have a question though, do you think the infineon controllers would hang together now if you used the cycle analyst to control the current the same way as you have done with the CC HV160 ? Keep up...

if you are going to watercool a motor and controller why not buy this controller from castlecreations http://www.castlecreations.com/products/hydra_hv_line.html

Awe inspiring work sorry about the result I wish I had a fraction of your talent and dedication. So do we keep watching this thread for the Laguna Seca race or is there another thread dedicated to that ?

Wow what can I say that hasn't been said already. Looks terrific, it has taken me weeks to catch up on everything using the library computers I can't wait to get my connection setup so I can get a regular fix of admiring your work. Once or twice a week doesn't cut it for me.

they might make even smaller airbag stuff I thought I saw a pneumatic conversion for the valve springs in a smallblock ford V8, it is always surprising what ppl will come up with.

sorry to hear about that you had problems. Could it have been something as simple as not having a tyre on the rim when you were working out the dropout positions that things out ? Sounds like a simple mistake that I have made somewhere along the line. Except I was mounting a replacement motor on...

hmmm it has been a long time between updates, must mean he is hard at work in the shed. Can't wait to see the results.

I have read about these adaptors for outboards but I don't know how small they are made. http://www.fishingmag.co.nz/boats-woolridge-jet-boat.htm there is a good cutaway drawing here showing how they work. http://www.sschapterpsa.com/ramblings/outboard_jet_maintenance.htm Found this too...

I remember a family friend building an approx 2m long hydroplane in the 70s powered by a 2stroke lawnmower motor using a flexible shaft from a whipper snipper, weed whacker to drive the prop. The boat performed well he claimed it used to get to 50kmh easily but the flexible shaft would work...
