I haven't dared topped it out yet.. but yes.. it's easily 50mph plus  I want to do a larger sprocket so it would be more fun around town. It's a nice cruiser but I haven't done the disc brake mount yet. I almost want to do front drum brake so I dont have to weld into the fork.
It's been about a month since I requested a sprocket from ole' dean at pipelyne. I'll give him a call. |

Great bike!
I am sure that the front disc is going to be very useful.
Did you get the engine high enough to clear the pedals or did you use wider cranks?
I think you would really appreciate front suspension on that bike as well. It really helps with control. Especially at speed.

I haven't seen those hubs! if I had known I probably would have gone that route. Yes I need front suspension. The bike is soooooooooooo bumpy at speed. |

The MP would look awesome with springer forks! Post lots of pics!
I am 4 foot 16 and a half inches tall and could not ride a Felt comfortably with a springer seat post. Works awesome for tall folks though. There are tons of them. springer seat post - Google Search
Wish I could. Don't get no, not ever easier then swapping out a seat post.

Where did you get that tensioner at? Those motor mounts are they your design? |

That's a nice gas tank for sure. I was wondering why it is angled as it is. If the filler were on top rather than at the side there would be a whole gallon capacity. As it is it looks like maybe 3/5 full is the most you could go. Is it so that you can swing your leg over the seat more easily? Really nice build. The motor is a dream. Personally I have no desire to go over 35 on a bicycle and even then only when I'm feeling fiesty. Sounds like the springer is a good idea and the best helmet money can buy is also a good plan. At 50 mph I think body armor would be wise. Of course I'm an old fart, so slower is better. If I were young and hadn't broken anything yet 60 would sound good. Ha. Stay safe, have fun, great bike!
