Did you have any problems fitting the automatic rear wheel into what looks like a K swingarm ?

Thanks. I am getting close to actually riding it, I hope to finish reworking the gas tank today and then it will be test ride time.  ;D

After a little sorting out, I was able to mount the automatic comstar wheel/brake using all the early K spacers and sprocket hub.

Pops Although it would be cool, I think this bike was originally built for fun and stand out. I don't think it would make much of a actual dragbike.

Here's a couple more pictures after a little more clean up and a short ride.

That's why they name them after Railroads..
How much over is it?
 At 6 inch longer swingarm, it definitely. Affects parking. And turning around

Thanks Guys

Moving it around is really not that bad, but then again I have 3 other bikes with 68+ inch wheelbases. Hehe

No there is no charging system. I plan to run 2 batteries, one standard for just the coils and one lipo for a LED headlight and tail light. I calculate that I should run for a good hour before the ignition battery gets low and the lights should be good for a couple hours. More than I will ever ride it at one time.

The BIG thing no one has mentioned. There is no starter, its kick start ONLY. Lol

I rode it a little yesterday. Lol

I fitted it with LED head and tail light bulbs, greatly reducing the power drain from the battery. With standard bulbs the amp draw was roughly 5.2 amps, now its only .4 amp with the LED's.
