Whitey kitty passed yesterday.
God speed ol boy.
But sadly the bike I want to do this on needs a replacement
1 3/4 ball joint, so they just got ordered.
After it runs again I'll do this thing.
Well, I could try it on my 50cc Moby.
That's running ok.
But there's a lot less room on the Moby compared to the Mintho.
Real sorry to hear about Whitey Cat
RIP whitey cat :'(
Ok, fuck it.
I'm going to try to make something today with the Moby.
Might make it easy and attach it to the launch lever away from the bottom of the engine to have better access.
Well, that was the easiest thing ever.
Now to test.
Bar is aluminum for now, will switch to steel if it works goodly
Now it all makes even more sense.
I'm liking this idea
Ready?
MUHAHAHAHAHAHA
MUUUHAHAGAGA
amazing bro.
You can downshift and lock it in place so you don't have to fool with your foot on mountains. I like it in conjunction with a launch lever.
So fun!
You can upshift and lock it if your spring is a touch too strong.
How come none of you idiots came up with this?
You need to smoke more weed.
Okay makes so much more sense...
Can't wait to hear results
Well shit!
Aluminum works better with friction material.
Then the aluminum stays.
Doesn't really matter tho, as I'm using a bike hydro setup I had
Ain'tany mountainous destinations to accent around here, the smoking part is going pretty good tho.
But locking in any "gear" at any point can be really fun.
It gives you absolute control of variation without having to use gross fucking feet.

This is genius. I don't think I have enough spare parts to try anything yet haha.
Got plenty of weed tho. I've definitely thought of "holding it in gear" somehow, but I don't have all the smartz you gotz
Pretty cool, is there room to put the lever by the launch?
Wat
Foot locker!
Dealing with the loss of a pet is one of the hardest things in life and most times lasts for years. I'm sure you gave your best. Best thoughts.
Scoot, I'm sure you could do anything you dream.
My whole deal with this was to have hand control over variation.
It locks variation with 1 finger.
How fucking cool is that?
That is fuckingER cooL dickead!
On a ride now, and man, I just gotta say.
This is the most fun I've had with a Moby in years.
Coolest thing is that you can see how high your bike really can rev by locking the engine.
It's so much different than having too strong of a spring where it keeps trying to variate and you can get weird bucking.
This makes it like a multi speed bike.
For gods sake somebody else do this.
And I'm an atheist
Hey JBOT, what belt are you using that is cogged on the outside?
Most bitchin belt ever.
Dayco top cog. It's fantastic.
Just keeps lasting and lasting.
Running one a bit long cuz I hate when the engine is cramped on swinging engine bikes.
Jbot... here's the photos of the setup using a puch clutch lever with a brake cable
a few more
Looks like the cable assembly is just designed to pull the engine in to full variation? Really hard to tell what's going on.
You can actually grab the clutch engagement lever to stop variation similar to a launch lever... sorry the pics are what they are.. I had Jesse send them to me.
What clutch engagement lever?
On a Moby? Wha?
