Well it has been ages since I posted anything on this blog as my bike project sort of went on hold. At the end of 2011 I was just too busy to be able to do anything to the bike and then a trip to NZ meant I couldn't work on the bike but managed to pick up some really good parts for the project.
The last few weeks I have been able to find a bit of time to get back into it and with a new welder at work, a special AC/DC tig welder it has helped to motivate me to get this finished.
As you can see the Honda engine is mounted in a weird position for any engine, yes it is vertical, espeically strange for a 4 stroke engine to be sitting up on its nose, but then this is a very special engine which is used in radio controlled planes and they do acrobatics with them so it can be run in any position.
As you can see the main strut of the bike is also the gas tank, holds 2 litres which should be good for 120km range.
I have just ordered some parts for the pedals, sprockets etc so hopefully they will be on their way soon.
Keep you posted on progress
