**DVSRX-7** · 11-03-2009, 05:35 PM

how much is the exhaust tubing? i want to make a roll cage lol

**Athens_Red_Rexin** · 11-03-2009, 05:37 PM

I'm not really sure. I need to ask. We don't sell much of the size I am using. I'll find out tomorrow how much it is.

**Athens_Red_Rexin** · 11-06-2009, 05:21 PM

Well here's a little update. I have the foot pegs made and the brackets for them. Got the exhaust made and fitted. And the new chain on and tensioner pulley made. Also got the seat on.

**Repiks** · 11-06-2009, 09:11 PM

Make some ridiculous pipe for the back man

Looks like a fun little project. I have an old shriner cart in the shed I need to tear apart.

i looked for some pictures when i saw this but i cant find them

**Athens_Red_Rexin** · 11-15-2009, 10:51 PM

Well it's official. I have the throttle and brake made and I got to ride it around Friday before I left work. It's pretty damn fast actually. It rides good and is a lot easier to control than the first one I built. I'll post up some updated pics tomorrow. Should be painting it pretty soon.

dude that pretty bad ass

**matthewAPM** · 11-16-2009, 04:49 PM

Badass man!

**Athens_Red_Rexin** · 11-16-2009, 05:09 PM

Well I was wanting to get some more done today instead I F*cked up really bad. I was tapping the thread in the end of the crankshaft so I could bolt the clutch up. And this happend!

So I have a fun job of getting that out now. I was gonna make the threads 5/16's but it will probably have to be 3/8's now. I am gonna mess up my new threads trying to get the tap out. I have a tap remover but the crankshaft is hardened and so is the tap, so it just tries to break the remover if I use it. Sad times!

**SouthSide Tay** · 11-16-2009, 05:35 PM

wow that sounds like its going to be a bitch to fix?

**MikeDubs** · 11-16-2009, 05:50 PM

really cool thread man. That looks like its gonna be hard to fix, but I dont really know

**RedGTS** · 11-16-2009, 10:11 PM

cool thread man, start to make some roll cages next with the pipe bender!

**Athens_Red_Rexin** · 11-17-2009, 10:46 PM

Well here is the throttle and brake levers and cables running down.

Here is the brake setup. It works really well.

And the throttle setup.

**Bud** · 11-18-2009, 07:43 AM

damn man. i guess it was going to well for something not to happen like that. good luck with the finish though.

**.:Stirfry:.** · 11-18-2009, 10:57 AM

awesome work man.. now im off to go build one of my own......

**koolaidman** · 11-18-2009, 01:43 PM

sick nasty man!

**Athens_Red_Rexin** · 11-18-2009, 05:13 PM

^Thanks guys!

**Athens_Red_Rexin** · 11-21-2009, 05:42 PM

I got the broken tap out and got a bolt in the end of the crank to hold on the clutch. You can kinda see it in this pic.

Well here is it with the new pull start on it.

Well I was having a great time riding it around and taking it down the road. It's actually really fast.

Well I pulled back in the shop and noticed I had a major problem.........

Here it is taken apart. I think I know how I am gonna fix it, but I feel like a retard for making it so weak right there. All the leverage from the front wheel pushes right there. I am going to straighten it and weld a piece of 3/4 solid steel bar from the top of the head tube to the bottom. Then it cannot bend and all the torque will be on that bar instead of the forks.

**yogi08** · 11-21-2009, 06:54 PM

badass

**Elbow** · 11-21-2009, 06:57 PM

Damn this is impressive stuff for real.

**Slow Motion** · 11-21-2009, 07:19 PM

O.M.G...I think I want one. It reminds me of a rukus but better. You should play around with bike struts for comfort. How much for one?

**Athens_Red_Rexin** · 11-22-2009, 07:11 PM

^Thanks guys!!!

Thanks bro! It will coming to the next Athens meat!

And yes I spelled meat with an "a" on purpose.

**DriVaH** · 11-22-2009, 07:28 PM

nice work...

**Athens_Red_Rexin** · 11-23-2009, 09:15 PM

^Thanks! Well I have decide to scrap this front end and start over from scratch. I am gonna change the whole look and design. I am going to build some top and bottom clamps and the forks will be straight and run all the way up to the top of the head tube, like a dirtbike. I will post some pics up tomorrow of some of the progress I made today.

**eg mike** · 11-23-2009, 11:32 PM

cool project man!! should be fun once done!!

**Athens_Red_Rexin** · 11-24-2009, 06:52 PM

Here is the what I got done on the new front end today.

What the clamps will look like.

Bearings I will be using in the head tube.

What the forks will look like. I decided to stick with the 2" pipe for the forks. Looks tough to me.

This is the plate I will be using to make the clamps out of. I am just going to weld that hole up in the bottom.

**D3UC3S** · 11-24-2009, 10:53 PM

This just gets better and better

**MikeDubs** · 11-25-2009, 07:24 AM

**bdydrpdmazda** · 11-25-2009, 07:38 AM

**Athens_Red_Rexin** · 11-25-2009, 10:43 AM

You have given out to much reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

**.:Stirfry:.** · 11-25-2009, 11:00 AM
