I will try calling BJM on Monday and see if I can get some info from him and maybe he will come over and post it.  It looks like there would be interst in a bolt in kit!

I would be intererested in this info as well! To make a daily driver of one I think I would need to use the 200cc.  Any gusstemates as to top speed? Not looking for a racer but something to carry my 200lbs up a couple of long steep up hills on my commute.

I spoke with BJM.  He had a health issue and was slowed for the last couple of weeks.  He told me he will get with the waterjet guy and  try to get back to me by the end of the week.  I'll keep everyone informed.

Cool. I'd love to know about a bolt on kit.

Went for a ride to pick up some suppies for my sand blaster. Got to see a Simplex time clock at an antique shop in Monroe Mi. You have to wind the clock but the time clock part is electrical. Bill Marcum 8)

I don't think those clocks were built by the same company.

Simplex was a pretty common name for stuff back in the day.  I have an old Simplex house jack over in the shop somewhere.

Just converted my Comet CVT to belt drive instead of chain output. Running a chain final drive proved to be too complicated. The stock wheel is now usable.

Now to install it.

Do any of you have photos of your progress?

I have everything to run a belt drive off of my Comet CVT. I was wondering how reliable the final belt would be when running 40 mph.
