This a bad photo.....but it is the only one I have that shows the relationship of the belt to the RYCA mount.  This photo has a Kawasaki rear pulley, and it is showing how loose the belt is if you don't also use the Kawasaki front pulley.

Sorry for the hijack, but that is interesting - what number of teeth and what modifications did you have to make? I can see this together with a longer swingarm to make room for an 18in wheel. Or get tall enough gearing with a 17in radial.

It requires a Kawasaki EN500/EN454/Vulcan 500 pulley, and it has to be machined. There is room for up to a 130/70-18 tire with the stock swing arm.

You can discuss Kawasaki pulley(s) in this thread.

Awesome set up! I'm actually following your mid control design to build mine. My left side is done. But I'm having trouble finding the right size of the tube that fit right with the right side rear brake shaft. It's either too big or too small.

What size of the round tube did you use to fit your rear brake set up? And did you install the brake spring? I didn't see it in the pictures. Would be awesome if you can share more info on the rear brake set up!! Thanks

I didn't go with the nersports design because it would have been tough to get the pegs where I wanted them while staying above the exhaust pipe.  Most of my stuff is on page two I think.  I used square tubing for the standoffs on mine.

If you are talking about the tubing I used for the brake lever pivot, I don't remember the size but it's larger than it needs to be.  I was going to have a bushing made but I never got around to it.  It works fine, but I should probably take a look and see how its holding up.  I actually forgot about it and I need to add that to my todo list for the winter.

I meant the rear brake return spring, where did you install it on your setup? I couldn't figure it out where to put it. I can do it without it, but the rear brake control feels really loose without the return spring on the foot peg.

I don't remember exactly but I might be relying on the hub's return spring.  I'll have to take a look at some point.

I managed to add a return spring here, which helps increasing some resistant when braking. Still trying to adjust the tension to a comfortable level, but so far so good!

I pretty much followed the exact mid control set up like you did. Thanks for your post, I really like your set up ideal!

And to add the return spring on it, I drilled a hole on the rear brake linkage and welded an additional piece on the foot control end to hook the return spring on.

I couldn't figure out how to upload multiple pictures in one post for some reasons, I will upload all my pics in several comments.
