Once again you have shown what great things you can do with your hands and once your mind is set on doing something.

Here's a picture of what my 1946 Cushman sorta looked like minus the sidecar.

 

With all that room under the skirting I wonder if it would be possible to put in a Venture motor?????

Bill you did an excellent job there doesn't even look like the same bike

NOW!!! just how FAST IS IT????

i calculated the gearing for 70 mph at 3500 rpm. i'm hoping it will cruise at 60. top speed may be around 80. the last one i built for my buddy was a 58 eagle. it has a built briggs v-twin with a 4 speed we designed and built. it will top 100 mph. i have a 58 eagle partially built with a 53 crosely 4cyl. engine in it and a cvt drive it is 750 cc's. some day i will get back to work on it. there are alot of cushmans out there with big motors, like sporster engines. a friend of mine has one with 2 briggs v-twin vanguards in it. thats 1260 cc's. lots going on in the world of cushmans. it's a great hobby alot of folks are involved in it.

Looks great Bill, as always your projects are amazing!
