It is not finished yet.....but I have taken it out for a test ride.

New sissy bar added for more old school effect. And a little blue paint.

Well the all important question is: how fast does it go? he he he

That is the 86cc ministroke with 6.9 primary gears

It goes as fast as you wanna go

Over 70mph would be my guess. I have gone 60 so far. But since it is not registered yet, I don't take it too far from home.

Yes how fast and how does it handle?

It handles great.

The front tire is from a 1982 Urban Express.......and I think it is the original tire

So top speed tests have not happened yet.

This engine pushed the last scooter to 69mph with no trouble at all (8.4 gears.)

Maybe I will shoot some go pro video of it later .

so your tellin me... i have to give up crazy acceleration to go fast? that aint fun ... i want to go 80 mph can i do that on stock gears? ok maybe 70, i just want to go 70!

he he he . . . hi ho hi ho off to my cave i go . . . hi ho hi ho

Thank you MM

I like the way this is shaping up.

A top tank express would be cool. I am thinking about doing a top tank on my 83.
