Just a little update I have just a little over 60 trouble free miles on my bike and must say it seems to run better and better . I am waiting on my new front hub so i can put a front brake on hopefully ill have it on by the middle of next week .

The muffler i made out of some scrap aluminum i had . I turned to end caps and slid a tube in between them and packed it with muffler packing. It definitely made it a lot quieter .

Just a quick ride report on my bike . I just got back from a LA ride and must say i am very pleased with the way this bike rides and runs. I have just over 180 miles on it now putting the last 30 miles on it tonight.It has run with no issues at all nothing falling off no break downs .It has a nice little cruise speed of 30 miles per hour now and has climbed every hill i have gone up with it . The bike seems to be getting a little faster and smoother with every mile i put on it .

This is a beautiful bike man. I want a tank just like that. I can tell you spent a lot of time and money on this. More so time than money. Just out of curiosity, how much does that tank hold?

Great. You know if you ever wanted to start manufacturing tanks like this I might buy one from you. Just a thought. Of course shipping it from California to Florida may me a hassle not worth dealing with. lol.
