TOC aster motor pacer stayer steher gangmaker derny project

Here is a really neat project im getting ready to embark on. Im planning on building a motor pacer based on pictures and using this gorgeous ASTER 3 1/4 hp motor.



This is the motor orient used to build the earliest of american mass produced made motorcycles.............they were also used as powerplants for pacing bikes

more pictures.........so much uniqueness on this motor,horizontal cases......in bronze......rippled fins....in copper......every bit of hardware is unique to this thing and i am incredibly honored to have been given the opportunity to be the custodian of such a rare and important motor.

Kool man.....

more pictures

I wanted to give a huge internerd hug to stig........you are a absolute gentleman......

Please post any pics of turn of the century pacers,this was a crazy beast and they rarely look like each other,i will be following either a bike or using several details from several to make this pacer

this is an aster motored rig

this was de dion power



i think this is de dion power

this is a later pacer,notice now they are one man and a roller mechanism is employed in case of "touchdown"..............there were alot of bad accidents before the roller bar came into use

this looks de dion to me

this looks like the plan for the henshaw/hendee,i dont see a coil or batteries

Great stuff Mark.
Can't wait to hear it roar!
