hi

been collecting parts for one of my side projects. freeing up some funds to buy a 500-900 cc inline 4 jap air cooled motor. also a rigid frame, however when it comes to ensuring the wheels and motor are central for balance and other reasons I don't know, may cause issues with the chain not being aligned?

if I stuck with the stock rear wheel and correct spacing it should line up fine? if not would I have to get a custom sprocket machined?

thanks

So, you are attempting to get a frame and an engine and a swingarm to line up all correct without being a wizard.

Just buy a working bike no?

You want to build a custom, yet have fuck all mechanical idea of how to do it?

There are several ways, which is easiest depends on what parts you have and what you want to build.

You need to know what parts you have before you bother thinking about anything at the level of detail you are.

Hint - You're fairly likely to be modifying your frame. You may need a lathe. Probably both.
