Putting things in places they ought not to be (250R Hybrid Motor build)

[Billy Golightly]

I have thought about that quite a bit and the answer is not very much. Between the awkwardness of going forward on a bike and the compression (hopefully I can route pipe under frame), it's going to be a challenge

Don't be skurred. If I can can kick over an XL500R at 140 lbs then you can can boot that pig over. You'll just have to find walls and poles and things to lean against. I'm sure you're aware, but but bump it just past TDC then give it holy friggin hell! You need the inertia of the crankshaft and everything to get that fawker rolling.

Well I had hoped to have this thing done in time for Trikefest, but not going to happen, too many other things going on unfortunately. Did get the foot peg mounts about 95% done, and moved them inward where they are more functional and don't look as goofy as they did.

Little walk-around Youtube video I made, first in a few years;

So did you decide to leave the pipe as is? Should be a fun ride when it's done

I will probably make a few test rides with the existing pipe, but plan is to go under frame for a final solution.

I don't see any chicken strips on those tires Billy, does it run? I was also wondering if you had vibration dampers on those handlebars or are they mounted solid?

I've burnt up the grass in a few places been trying to so a shake down run in the yard to find the major things. Got a lot to do to be road legal still mostly in the wiring sense. I put a new 39 pwk on it and been playing with the jetting, it is going to be scary on the tarmac ruunning through the gears.

The handlebars are direct mount. Some dampeners long term would be nice. The pegs have built in rubber bushings in the mounts and that does help.

Holy Crap! I just tuned into this thread for the first time in years and what I found surprised the hell outa me lol! that is gonna be really cool! Are you going to do any youtube videos of it? I really enjoyed the videos of the engine build especially building the pipe.

^ Biily and his pop went mad dog building that pipe.

Billy found out how much fun they were to build

Ya I agree Ive built a few pipes they are very tedious but also quite fun to build. Now that I have a tig welder I'm very excited to build another one I think tig will be much more fun than mig.
