I've been meaning to see the movie just haven't made the time,i hear it's good.also some good news i can still get the front drum brakes, the back ones are all sold.he has 20 front drums left,he'll sell each one of them to me for $75.00 plus shipping and $5.00 more for the drum clip.let me know what you think,i'm going to probably get a few more for myself.with regard to trading i'm sure we can work something out.Thanks Ray

If you get the DVD, be sure to check out the original documentary in the bonus section called "Offerings to the God of Speed", amazing....
As far as the brakes, are they NOS or what? Have you used the front drum brake on your Whizzer? I'm interested, let me know...Thanks!
Bud
 
Hi Bud the drums are NOS but i don't know what year.i'm using them on both my vintage schwinns,one has H motor and the other one is a 300 motor that i have coming.to me they work just fine.i'll be sure to see the documentary too.i'll wait to hear from you Thanks Ray
 
This is my buddy bob and his 99 whizzer that the parts went on.finish putting all the parts no and the #80 main jet is to small,running way to lean.will post pics of progress soon.Ray

It's been about a week now that the bike has been running,there has been a few minor issues.first i couldn't get it to idle,so i advance the cam one tooth,that help but still not able to idle.the barrow at the end of the throttle cable was pulled in about 3/4"on the carb side.fix that but still no idle on it's own.the adjustment at the other end,handlebar side was all the way out for the highest idle,same problem with this end,throttle cable pulled inside the adjustment.VOILA!!! she now idles.timing is set at 14 degree from factory but can be moved to 28 degree by moving the trigger plate forward.the carb main jet went from#80 to#85 with the needle jet set at the 4th groove from the bottom.may have to go to a #88 .the temperature went from the high 500 F to about 300 F BIG DIFFERENCE with heat coated parts.will have to run the motor for a few more hundred miles to see the final out come.time to have fun.

It's been a few weeks now and the whizzers temp is in the 200F and she is picking up nicely.no belt slipping.had to move up one more jet size #88.we rode our whizzers from whittier to the fullerton airport about 6 miles one way,ate lunch there and rode back.keepping it under 25mph for the break-in did 35mph in a few places becaue he was being a show off.there's 125 miles on it now,the holidays have slowed things down some but still having fun.will give a report in a couple of weeks.
