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.

Hey let's watch the language. LOL.
Seriously, what kind of idiot grinds the brakes down that far? He's lucky if he's still alive.
