Looks good . Great progress in a day . I got away with the stock kick stand . Later I came across another and cut out about an inch ,could have taken more off it. It has enough lean now that I don't worry it will fall over

ordered up wheel bearings for it yesterday... took a while to find a few of them, since they are nonstandard bearings... hardest one to find was for the cush drive... a 15mm bore with a 52mm OD....LOL turns out theres an alternator bearing thats just the right size out there... so i will hopefully get the bike totally together and safely rideable within the next week or so... still need to fab a bracket for the rear brakes though... anyone have ideas?

On mine i modded the factory bracket http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...ecracer&page=2 have a look here . hope it helps

Can you get the bracket that was meant for the caliper, and then weld tabs on the swingarm to match it?

the rear caliper and everything is still the stock caliper... if at all possible i want to make this comversion completely reversuble in case i want to ride in a dual sport event....

bogieboy · 03-19-2014, 10:52 AM

hmm... i dont want to chop up the factory bracket, since i still want the ability to use the stock wheels... but something along those lines may work.... gotta sit down and see what i can come up with....

If that's the case, I'd track down a second swingarm. Undo the shock bolt, drive the pivot bolt out and slide the swingarm away.

if i had the money in the bike budget i would... but thats pretty well depleted right now.... i will have to see what i can come up with in terms of an adapter....

Behold my quick manipulation!

bogieboy · 03-24-2014, 03:58 PM

well saturday i got 4 out of 5 bearings in... turned out that i ordered one for the back wheel incorrect...i ordered another of them and hope to have it soon...other than that its almost done... still working on the brake extender though...

alex_in_az · 03-25-2014, 10:12 AM

this looks pretty sweet, I'm due for a new set of tires soon, I may go for some street ones instead of knobbies

bogieboy · 03-29-2014, 09:06 AM

got the other wheel bearing in, and had a bit of fun.... even though i still have no back brake....

Looks Good . I have never been good at getting the front wheel up like this. The Goldwing powered up once . Yikes thought I was going to die.

bogieboy · 03-29-2014, 12:02 PM

i am not gonna lie... its scary at first... the wierd part is i can ride a wheelie on my mountain bike at balance point, which is a far steeper angle, for far longer than i am comfortable with on the motorcycle... its pretty easy to power it up, due to the large rear sprocket, its currently geared sligghtly shorter than the stock 17/56 gearing...its a 13/45 520 chain gearing... i am probably going to get a 38 rear for it eventually, but its kinda nice to be able to hooligan it a bit...LOL i may keep it this way for a while...
