Wink 120 miles on new MB! Its a Mongoose!

Hey everyone,

I just finished my Mongoose conversion to a MB.

This thing is only 70 pounds full of fuel.

It even has a locking gas cap!

So, what do you think?

Locking Gas Tank Cap With Key

It is a scooter gas cap but it fits our HT tanks very well.

I also like the fact that no one can put the wrong fuel in it unless I give them the key!

Thanks everyone for the thumbs up on the bike.

Here is what it looked like before the modifications to make the motor fit.
