What are the advantages/ disadvantages of keeping/ using a shaft transmission in a conversion?
I found this very interesting bike for sale, a Guzzi 500CC 1980, documents in order, however disassembled (hehehe - no need to disassemble it myself! :) ) for around US$1,000.
The size is close to a japanese 250cc, and the frame - a double-bed - seems just right for a conversion.
It also has an interesting bracking system: left hand = front right disk; left foot = rear disk + front left disk.
But it is the shaft transmission that I want to know your opinion about: can I use it in the conversion? Would further reduction (between the motor and the axle) be needed?
Finally, I am glad for NOT making good on my farewell to the forum: if I must pay the price for being a pioneer in e-conversions in Israel, so be it!
