Not processed, but it will be soon.

Cool project. Used to have a little Honda 50cc bile when I was a kid, can't even imagine how many miles I put on that thing.

I noticed in the video that rear wheel looks a little off balance when it's spinning, does that cause vibration issues at higher rpm?

No. It's just because the rear tire is flat.

so how did it get stolen?

It was stolen out of my garage. I found it while dumpster diving.

Good find! Glad to see your putting your new found skills to work. That's almost about as good as finding my stolen amp/Sub/X-over in a pawn shop.

BTW: Pawn shops are good places to find cheap junk as well. I have bought a lot of "broken" stuff over the years. My last buy was a Home theater Sub (12" with amp) for $25 The only thing wrong was that the surround was coming unglued (I used to build speakers) and someone shoved a AA battery and a fridge magnet in the port hole. Works great!

Next project- automated sentry unit in the gargage?...

"Present hall pass"......."Second request, Present hall pass":lol:

But in all seriousness I had some kid walk into my garage and steal my laptop (but left the power cord) along with the docking station. I was so close to running some .023" welding wire across the garage at belly level and plugging it in to the wall. Theives really piss me off.

My rear tire is like that too. I tried to center it and no beans. The breaks rub a little momentarily when the wheel is at a certain position. Can't say exactly what it is, although a flat tire won't help either.

The one on that electric scooter is like that as well, but it's because the tube is weak and is balloned out in a section. I am going to order a new one just haven't gotten around to it. Looks good so far, have you riden it yet? On the clutch did you change it from the stock one and just adapt the sprocket?

Jeff

Question for riley- you know that plastic pulley that was around 100 teeth on the freewheel? Do you know the exact tooth count of it?

Running Vid!! :rules:

I have taken one on my phone, but my phone hates me and says "cannot publish video" when it finishes. :neutral:
I'm emailing the video to myself and will try and save it to my computer and upload from there. Hope that works. :whistle:

Got it!

Ya know, I only think the helmet would be needed if you were going fast enough to be in danger of hurting yourself in a crash/ falling off etc... :lol: Atleast it works though!
