Bucket update

[Slingshot]

How's the sprocket alignment? (lateraly) and are you able to get the front sprocket closer to the swingarm pivot? Otherwise you can try to line up the three axis of the rr axle swing arm pivot and the c/shaft.
It doesn't look like you have too many other options from your photo. Sometimes you might get away with putting one engine bolt into the closest existing mount as a start point.
I hope you have a good selction of spacers or a lathe. A good selection of long bolts is good. PM me if you get stuck or need anything.
Good luck!

The front sprocket lines up pretty well with the rear sprocket but would probably be good if the front sprocket (ie. the engine) was a little higher but I don't think I can raise it any more.

I haven't got a lathe and will need to buy some long bolts as the ones that I have aren't long enough.

At this stage, I think I'd be happy if I could get one bolt through the front and one bolt through the rear.

Can you tell if that motor was rubber mounted or are there just plain bolt holes. If it was rubber mounted you may have to reconnect the frame rails at th bottom. If you solid mount, you can use the engine a stressed member. Then your flyin!

That meant absolutely nothing to me, come again???

Here's a photo of the engine mounted in the last frame it was in:

It looks like it was soild mounted before so it should be easy. If the engine was rubber mounted the frame rails around the bottom of the motor have to be intact because the rubber mounts in the egine cases allow the frame to flex too much. Bolting it up solidly uses the engine cases to do this job.
It'll be a tingly thing to ride, you might want to get thicker seat foam unless you're into your butt being buzzed.

I think we should all show up at your place on Saturday and get the thing running.

I have an Arc welder and a Gas plant and some off cuts of plate steel to make mounts. do you have a drill press, files, hacksaw, FBH (Fucking Big Hammer) and other assorted shit?

Looking at the pic I'd try and mount in the lower rear mount and make the others... Nah, scratch that - pivot gets in the way.

PM me your addy or phone number and I'll come round and have a look. Maybe we all can, eh? We could put our 5 cents in and confuse the whole issue to shit.

Haha 5 Cents aint official any more skunk you newlands people behind in the times

[Sully60]

Yeah, the poor bike will end up looking like a 45 c Dr frankenstein creation

Sorry - I didn't know - I'm all electronic funds now.

I guess for you to know means you're still using using 'money'?

Hmmm...butt buzzed...and here I was thinking that the excitement of bucket racing was in the actual racing!

PM on it's way.

I've got some assorted shit, haven't got a drill press though...the electric hand drill will have to do. Broke my last hacksaw blade today but have a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade!!! Haven't got a FBH but have a SSH (standard sized hammer)

Yeah, the poor bike will end up looking like a 45 c Dr frankenstein creation

I'm am looking for a nickname for this wee beauty, Frankenstein could fit the bill.

Sweet as - I have bourbon and beer so you shout pizzas.

More important than the sockets (but not the torque wench) is the vernier... who's got that?

Slingshot - I've had second thoughts on the frame down tube/exhaust port issue so I haven't cut out the plate yet. Hope you haven't done anything.
