Dan, that's lookin awsome!
Your totally on the right track.You won't be ably to use the original sprocket that's bolted to your wheel though.(as you probably know).Go to your local motorcycle shop and ask them to ordet you a "blank sprocket" 420 pitch (honda xr 50).
and then all you have to do is drill it out for your wheel, no sweat.
And don't forget your gonna need linkage for your shifter, or flip it upside down, see how close it gets.
Any way looking good dude.
Heres one we just completed.
later
NoT To Sound Sentimental..,but That Means More To Me Than You,ll Ever Know ...i've Had A Blast So Far (monnster Garaging This Thing But It,s Time To Let The Pros Take Over Being I,m Not Using Any Plate At All Under The Engine For A More Trick Look , And The Xr 50 Mounts Ww/ A Bockbone Mounting Style.....IN OTHER WORDS THERES TWO BOLTS ON TOP AND BACK OF THE ENGINE
I happen to work at a steel factory, so I was able to get rectangular tube, just like your main frame, anly thicker .095 to be exact.So it's real thick.
What I did for the chain though was this.
I totally removed the lower crossmember.Once it was gone it was replaced with the thicker crossmember.Once we knew where the chain was going to hit, a notch was cut into the crossmember.Now theres a hole half way through the member.we just cut another piece of tube in half and welded it into the hole.Now you have a channel in the crossmember, that should be welded solid, and doesn't interfere with the chain.
I'm going to the shop tonight, I'll snap some picts so can follow what I mean.Pictures worth a thousand words.
see what I can do.
SOUNDS GOOD .....CAN'T WAIT TO SEE PICS ...., AND YOUR RITE ...BEFORE THE BUILDS OVER , I WILL HAVE SPENT A THOUSAND OR MORE ,,,BUT I CONSIDER IT MONEY WELL SPENT...
