Jonny's Senior Project!

As most of you know I am about done with this silly school nonsense and I am working on a senior project. I would like to build an electric motorcycle and to do so I need some help. I am in serious need of some sponsors. If you are interested, just leave a comment or get a hold of me. All donations big or small are greatly appreciated and are 100% tax deductible!

It spins!

It has been a real long time since I have posted anything I've just been super busy with school and the project getting everything wrapped up so that I can graduate. The video should speak for itself on where the project is. I just need to attach the chain. I was going to go for a test ride the other night but in the mess that my garage has become I lost the master link and was not able to put the chain on but once that store opens on Monday I'll be getting a new link and going for a spin!


On a side note, I did have to fix another mistake of the !@#$! that I got the bike from. He totally destroyed the rear brakes! He wore through the pad, the metal plate that holds the pad, and had begun to melt the piston itself! I just don't know about some people. Here are a few pics so you can see for yourself.

It's a little hard to see but I still can't believe it happened. I also had to helicoil the swing arm for the chain adjuster bolts. The threads were totally non-existent, I don't know who it was even staying together.

Everything is finally starting to come together, I have run into a lot of problems that were beyond my control with bad parts, but hopefully that is all over now.
