love it!

Too much travel lately, so not much play time. Took the scooter up and down the block and it will do 41mph in a block but needs a bunch of tuning. Will idle well (but high) with choke out but not after releasing choke. big loss of power at 1/4 throttle until the revs slowly catch up. Seems very lean...

Needed to have a tire with speed rating higher than J for running at Bonneville.

Just found a KENDA K453 SCOOTER TIRE - TL 90/90-10 50L 044531008B1

thanks!

HELP!!

Does anyone know of a tire (90/90/10 or similar) that is rated higher than J speed? Been searching around and not much luck

coming right along

Needle stuck on the carb. Just flipped it over and tapped a few times and it worked fune after. Mounted the battery, plugged in everything and she fired right up. Need to do a little choke tuning but otherwise very strong and responsive. Bolted the sidecar back on and drove down the block and back. ...

Stuck the carb on and ran the throttle cable last night. Put some gas in the tank and a fresh battery. cranked well and will run on carb cleaner sprayed down carb but not getting gas through carb. I'll pull that carb tonight and check it out. t least I know it will run.

I will have a few spares when I am done. before swapping engines, I bought a new Leo Vince pipe for the AF05, so I will be selling it if anyone is interested. $175...

Last night mounted the fuel cell and spliced together the wiring harness to work with the AF16. May try to start it tonight for fun.

Test fit the AF16 engine and Wild Lion exhaust yesterday afternoon. Happy to see that my existing wheel fit and I only need to do a few bits of wire cutting and splicing to make this work. Engine mount bolt is different as well so I will need something there but no biggie. Other bits that arrived ov...

BTW, I need an AF16 wheel if anybody has a steelie for cheap...

Been extremely busy over the last month travelling all over and working my butt off. Finally a little time to work on my project this weekend. finished off the sidecar and dropped off the frame to get powder coated. Following the general advice of the board, I bought an AF16e to swap in and a bunch ...

Slowly making some progress here. I have the frame built and the wheel mounted with adjustable toe for dialing it in. Final wheelbase is 50.5" and track wide is 32.5" http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm17/chwdhw/photo1.jpg http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm17/chwdhw/photo2.jpg

Sounds like I will be looking for an AF16 but for the time being, most everything I have will swap over. I'll keep on keeping on to get everything up and running then put the new bullet in. received an OKO 24 and manifold yesterday. Had to make an adaptor to seal it to the block, but otherwise no pr...

There is a minimum weight on the sidecar that the third wheel must have 10% of total bike weight as sitting on the ground. So far it only weights less than 10 lbs though (steel). The wheel will weigh more than the structure. It will end up with three support points on the frame - at bottom near moto...
