Now I know why they say the average human only uses 8% of the brain in a lifetime.
I now have 2 post to be the living proof.


If humans did not have the ability to adapt we would still be hunting with rocks and sticks! I am glad there are atleast a few inventive people in the world to make it a better place.

The Harley frame could be easily replicated out of aluminum bar stock or magnesium...
given that you can weld or have someone weld it with a heliarc.

Gears - industial machinery has been using chains and sprockets the size of the Kyosho bike currently has for years- take a look at Grainger for this mod.


Think outside the box!!!

or if you prefer buy your stuff premade and live inside the box.

I like the way you think! I am actually halfway through building a custom chopper: I brazed up the fram using brake tubing. I made molds out of styrofoam and covered them with fiberglass for fenders and the tank, using a small 4 stroke w/belt drive looks good, still don't know if it will work! I am looking for info on trail for the front end any thoughts?

What do you mean by the trail?

I like how you left plenty of room in the engine bay. From the size it looks like you can
use 1/8 MT Disc brake on the front wheel also or the rear.

Great job!
