Those new skins look so cool! Thanks for sharing the updates

PTSG - thanks!

Good info from industry innovator Craig Vetter on streamlining http://www.craigvetter.com/pages/470MPG ... 0Main.html

hi Rev. the panels really look cool. nice work.

Nice work on the molds, you showed us a lot of effort. Hope to see it completed and keep up the great work sir!

Okee dokee, got the front piece made and now have to figure out how to mount the thing. I figure I'll make a little lightweight subframe for it, rivet it on then bolt the subframe to the scooter to make it removable easily. The rear seat piece is mounted and I'll make a flat bottom tray for it to help stabilize and keep the air from pocketing in there.


Careful welding next to a plastic trashcan full of paper towels soaked in lacquer thinner. Safety first???

Let the silliness continue...

That thing looks sick REV.

Thanks! If I can stay home long enough between trips I might be able to make more progress...

And they said the Spruce Goose would never fly...

Got the turbo up and running today. Now I need a longer throttle cable and some tuning time. The intake pipe is a bit ugly right now and I will remake it with some pipe I have on the way. But it feels good to hear it scream at 11k.

Looks and sounds awesome! Subscribed and liked

Getting the scooter ready for another trip to Ohio for the land speed races up there. Plenty of work done over the last few months.

Fairings are done and painted. I want to make matching belly pans but that will have to wait.

Installed the Athena big bore kit 72cc. It sounds awesome and I've only ridden up and down the block but think it feels much stronger. Going to the dyno in the next two weeks to get it dialed in. This thing so incredibly loud I don't think it would do to run up and down the streets trying to tune it

Also, I have it set up where I can run it as is then swap to put the turbo on and make passes. It doesn't like the turbo until it has been warmed up, but...it does great with it and I got it with a fair enough tune and idle until I hit the dyno.

Pics to follow...

Easy up paint booth

Made some test runs with the 72cc Athena jug and head today. it definitely needs a new pipe. It is falling off at 9000rpm and should go a bit higher than that.

Ran a decent 57.9mph. Strong cross wind and struggling not to blow over. Still fun. I swapped on the turbo and made a warm up pass then in the middle of getting up to speed. put put chug.. out of gas. done for the day but I saw I was getting just 1.5 psi boost and it wanted a bunch more jet. I was running a 98 on motor then just put in a 102 for the turbo and it acted lean still.



lots of heat in the pipe. This extension is to run out the back of the rear fairing.

Put the turbo on - it takes about 10-15 minutes for the swap.

good update... thanks..
