Got a lttle more done with the drive system. Shortened the the drive shaft, it has a small wobble (.015 out-of-round) It may or may not work!!! The splined connections were loose & all got tighter with all the welding/heating and I'm hoping they loosen up some when it's powered up. These pic's give you an idea of how it's going to get placed on the swingarm and how the axle shaft (now jackshaft) put's power to the tranny. I'm going in the output side of the Polaris tranny since it's lower and using the input side for the final drive chain, this also helps "un-reduce" what the differential gave the gearing (diff. 4:1, tranny set-up is now 1:2.6= 1.4 total reduction from the engine). I doubt I'll get the right overall gear ratio with the sprockets the first time out!!! Getting closer to having all my support points located to build the swingarm.
So does anyone see any obvious issues?
