My new toy--every Hamber should have one--

Good job Beau...I really like your homebuilt bike.

 

Beau - I have two of those old cast Iron B&S engines. There is a kick starter for that shaft that is next to the output shaft, I think you could make it go around that drive. I am making up a flywheel with the fins carved off, and a stainless steel mixing bowl fitted over to make it look like the flywheel to the Mustang motorcycle flywheel, I always liked the look. You can also eliminate the R/H flywheel and run total loss ignition, with a new one on the left side, just a simple disk, would look cool too. Love the large drive on the rear wheel also look vintage. The power is a little low on those early engines see if you can get the compression up, I have lapped the head in and used no head gasket that helped. The head will be warped but I just used a flat plate and some wet dry paper and lapped it flat, then lapped it in on the block. Have fun, Dave

PS: I will follow your work, looking forward to hearing your comments.

 

ok. damnit .. gotta make one.. starting tonight.

 

these bikes are kick-***, for a nice deep pitch why hasnt somebody added a Baseball card to the spokes, or better yet..................these ****ers..haha

 

Wow these are fine as wine vato! I got to have one of these to fetch tacos in the morning. Saddle bags on that Baby and look out grandma, I'm coming thru!!

 

c'mon guys...when do you stop to show me toys I did not know that they exist???
this is way cool - absolutely impressive! We don't have those overseas, never saw one. We don't get the parts, no fuc... chance. Is there a place where I could buy one. That is a must for the back on my model a p/u.
I really gotta have one of those - thanks for your "help"!!

It really donesnt shoe from the pics, but the bars are waist height.
great stuff one here, my fave is the Povertyflats tan one, as everybodys i suppose.

What is a neat kit? i reallly wanna use a chinese one as a last resort.

 

This a a really cool build! What engine are you using?

 

I have been riding my tan colored bike some in the last couple days. still as fun as ever!

 

I'm going with the crowd on this one:
Damn you PFlats. Now I "need" one of these things.
I'm sure the stock in whizzers just went up thanks to this post & the hamb.

 

perhaps less time playing on your bike and more time paying attention and those coveted GMC 301's wouldn't be escaping Kansas for Nebraska.
