Getting geared up.....or down, now. Going to be screw time pretty soon. I hope I can have some gears turning by the end of the weekend. Sure wish my chain had showed up.

Having a case of "builders block" this afternoon. Trying to get my idlers in place. I'm thinking of putting them on the slack side just after the main drive sprocket. There they are the most out of the way just not sure of they are as effective there.

Would something like this work? Stand off the arm and you can bolt or weld it to the arm. Bolts will allow adjustment location between the sprockets.

We're getting closer and closer!

I'm thinking it needs a mechanical aspect to it on the adjustment.

You let the bulb. Here is what I have right now

[Oldskool 6,644]

Well I abandoned the last idea pic. A little time wasted but I think alot of time saved it the long run. This is a bit more straight forward. Its up and out of the way. It works well. A bit of trimming and I think it will be ok.

[Oldskool 6,644]

I acquired some military taillights today. I may flip them over and change the lens to clear and use as headlights. What's your thoughts?
