that on to see what they looked like. Also mounted my front tyre, so put that on as well. Starting to look like a motorcycle.

Next the back wheel.

Way to go Noel, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Really Looking forward to seeing the build

Part 4 A : Now for the first tricky bit. Decided to use a front wheel of a
V-Rod (just happened to have one lying about , 19'' as well , just what I needed) for the back wheel. But this was'nt gonna be a simple bolt on, oh no!! The rod front wheel uses two floating brake discs which attach directly to the wheel, and as this is gonna be my rear wheel I need to put the pulley for the belt drive on the left side. The bolt holes are not in the correct position, so need to fix it.

[Irish Rod]

Part 4 B : Got a 6 mil alloy plate and cut and drilled it to match the bolt hole patterns of the wheel and belt pulley.

[Irish Rod]

PART 4 C : Next I tapped the inner holes for the 10 mil bolts , put them in,
and bolted the whole thing to the wheel.

Part 4 D : Next ,mounted the wheel to detemine how much of a spacer I needed to put between the plate and the Belt pulley,so as to maintain correct belt alinement. Lots of wheel in measure ,wheel out, wheel in measure, cursing, why did I ever start this, ah just use the 16'' wheel, etc ,etc, but got there in the end.

Part 4 E : And here it is, my back wheel , HURRAH !!!!

[Irish Rod]

MadClown, yea hoping to make it to Killarney. You going? If so we have too meet up

Part 5 : The Handlebars. Decided to make my own H/bars for this build.

Gonna use an old set of buckhorn bars and a stool. A STOOL ??? Well I'm a
great believer in using what you got, and the stool has some nice curves and is make in 1'' tubing. PERFECT.
