The swing arm will have to be re-designed for the gas engine and a cover to hide it. I want it to be street legal and the DMV laws, here are a few, Gas powered is called "Slow moving vehicle (SMV) all lights and equipment plus 25MPH tops (yeah right). If electric 25MPH no DMV rules or insurance, can call mobility scooter. BUT! I am also thinking hide the gas motor and electric motor on the front wheel.View attachment 126510

Guess What!!! About damn time, harbor freight finally had a sale, Black Friday and $50.00 off, so I snagged it... reBuild to follow...

Good deal Tom, looking forward to seeing it completed.

Measurements for extending the swing arm 3" and then there is the sprocket that needs about 1" to the right. I do not want to have to go the jackshaft route...

Sooon...AND! I should be getting the hardware (bolt) out of my hip next month...

 

[TomyJ]

Ready for the welderCross pieces later...

 

[TomyJ]

The 1.25X.125 wall sq tubing with 3/5 steel running inside and PLUG welding (tack weld for now). More adjustments and cross pieces next, the plate platform for engine mount???

 

[TomyJ]

Getting there! I'm thinking maybe 3/16 plate with cross braces? View attachment 130556

Maybe it worked this time...

 

[TomyJ]

New one will be 10"longer. 
I needed the old mount plate to see if the engine was going to clear everything, when the chain lines up it should clear the left rear tire by 1/2" and the right rear should clear by 1/4". Chain will be too close to the Disc and Caliper.

Coming along Tom, LOL. I've got the same compressor from Harbor Freight in my shed.
