PROTOTYPE PROGRESS

Spent a few hours in the shop working over a few refinements on the Racer Deluxe Prototype this week. Fuel line linked up, pedals installed and front seat mount installed. We are getting close folks. 

FRAME DEVELOPMENTS

Above is a picture of a roughed out Flyer "WZ" frame designed to carry the Whizzer engine. Notice the deeper loop with tighter radius. We are really starting to push the limits of the tube bending equipment.

Here is a shot of two WZ Flyer frames and a Flyer Deluxe. The Flyer Deluxe is the non stretched baby loop for the Grubee engine. These frames still need the welded in engine mounts and a few other small details, not to mention a good cleaning.

TANK & SEAT INSTALATION

A couple new pictures from the Racer Deluxe Prototype build. Tacked up the first new style stretched gas tank and test fit it to the prototype bike.  Also began messing around with a full sized boardie style seat, the standard bicycle seats proportions didn't quite fit with the stretched out frame. You will also notice the widened cranks that clears the 9 1/2" wide engine.

UNDER SEAT GAS TANK

Introducing our new Under Seat Gas Tank. CAD designed, laser cut stainless and formed parts, tig welded, stainless bung with machined aluminum cap with check valve. Check back soon, as we'll be offering these Tanks in our PARTS section.

THE RACER DELUXE IN PROGRESS

After working through the geometry and design of the new Racer Deluxe model, we finally hit a design that suited the Morini 2 Stroke engine and utilized the Worksman bike frame. Next steps will be mounting the side chains, configuring the idler sprocket, and custom fabricating the crank arm widths to clear the engine.

WORK BEGINS ON THE NEW KITS

With a stockpile of frames on hand and the CAD designs locked in, I begin the task of breaking down the frames into sections for the stretch and loop process. On the yellow bike above, you will notice the rear triangle has already been widened to suit the moped rear hubs.
