sprockets

sprokets: In this picture you can see the sprockets are the same size unlike most motorcycles the reason is the rear tire is the same size as the associated porsche tire. therefore the final gear ratio in the tranny is what the tire diameter is designed for. upon riding I will determine weather to up the front sprocket diameter because this pig will have so much tourqe that you can probably start off in any gear. The bug that the motor came from would spin the tires in all 4 gears. the rear rim is a vw sand rail rim and a customized ghia disk brake hub.
