Default Sold my alcohol "BUBBA" bike.

I finished my "BRUTUS" bike and sold my alcohol "BUBBA" bike to my riding buddy. Brutus is a 1998 400 sport with a 600 cc three cylinder two stroke POLARIS snowmobile motor in it. It will put the fear of God in you. Don't know how fast it will run no one I ride with is brave enough to hold it wide open for a long enough time. Just something to putt around on on Sunday afternoon. I am going to try to post some pictures as soon as I finish this post. Check them out later on when they get approved.

Sounds like some serious pucker factor on that. Sure you'll turn some heads with it.

Man, it really turned out good! Good job on the clutch cover! You must have some pretty good metal working tools. That thing's not just some flat pieces welded together[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Hey Louie great job!!!!!! Hey if you ever take it to the track let me know what Kind of times it runs. Too bad about the Bubba bike. At least it's staying in your riding family.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I started on it in January. I worked on it on weekends mostly. It was pretty much finished and in testing mode by April. So about 3 to 4 months of weekend work. I had to special order some drive parts and waited for them a few times. The first run the transmission twisted inside the frame. I had to totally dissassemble and put an outbourd bearing on the tranny shaft going to the pvt drive. I used the snowmobile driveshaft for a jack shaft and put an eagle pd drive belt between the pvt and the tranny. Yes the clutch cover took the most time of any single item. I bet I have at least 8 to 10 hours in it. I hope to shine it up a little this winter maybe some new plastic and get a powder coat paint on the frame. But like my buddie says all the paint and chrome doesn't make it any faster. I plan to take it to Glamis in the winter this year and play a little out there. It actually trail rides fairly well and hill climbs really good.

Thank Your for the great comments.

Louie
