POS { - The Deathtrap Project - }

I want one too.........

Props to you Justin, your best bike build thread yet. I want? one too.........
 
Just a small update:

I've ditched much of the retro crazy German look and feel of the bike. For a while I spent time trying to get the position really down low so that I was lying on top of the bike. To do that I bought a banana saddle and sissy bar. I've chopped all of it up and even with the saddle as low as it was the position still wasn't quite right. I gave up somewhere along the line and I've decided to go upright again, dirt track style!

The bike instantly feels slower, but a lot more playful now that I'm sitting upright instead of lying low.

I bought and fitted a cheap Cateye wireless computer and the bike's doing 46.5km/hr on the flats and I hit 57.8km/hr on the way home down a gradual hill. There's a lot more in it as it's still a new engine and I'm still running the 16:1 break in oil/fuel mixture.

A little video I shot today on my way to MC Cyclery.
 
That camera looks to be high quality, good picture...go shoot some real (offroad) videos with it!
 
Looking good Mr. Fox. I think you should be the first to build a proper expansion chamber for yours and get some decent poke out of it. Maybe a keihin or mikuni carb off a small capacity Jap bike (say an early 80s 50-60cc mx bike like a YZ50).

Is that a KHS cruiser thing he's on? I lined up against him on one at a slalom once...in 1997. Wonder if its the same bike.
 
WOW:eek:

That's one awesome looking ride. You shore have put a lot of time and effort into that bike. Good work.
I love the old moto look.
