Awesome dude,
I can only imagine what something like that would be to ride.
Taking it down the shops must take forever.
I wouldn't want to head home.

Nice conversion, and wow is that a tight squeeze! I assume the rad is up front and fed from the front guard pulled thru with fans? And... how long will it run on that small tank of fuel? Im guessing it needs a lot of fillups! all done with shakey hands LOL!

Man, a shoe horn and a sledge hammer to make that fit. I'm guessing 6th gear power wheelies?

Hi it has two tanks the alloy one at the rear plus the top section( with the fuel gauge) above the rad housing.
