Pegged the speedo today on my way to thunder by the bay (: finally up and running reliably, still a little rich, can probably pull another 5 mph from it with the right jetting. Pipe hits hard at 35 mph and just keeps pulling until it pegs the speedo + ~5-10mph gonna gps it tomorrow to see where its at. also found out that not only was the flywheel wrong but the variator was wrong as well, replaced it after it destroyed itself on the way back from thunder by the bay yesterday. Ped pulled in quite a crowd stood out pretty well next to all the harleys and crotch rockets lol.

Had some free time finally and I got the frame all painted up and assembled a roller!! all I gotta do is run the starter feed and get my turn signals headlight and throttle/controls and its good to go for now. also the front rim is temporary will not be my actual rim so the white on the tire is not a problem

Man that thing is awesome! I would love to build one like that. I like how clean it looks without the speedo, and all that other stuff installed. Great work!
