First Build! :)

I am glad to see another new build with good brakes, too often they get overlooked. I added a front Flasher as well because people have pulled out in front of me, no real close calls yet and I want to keep it that way.
I think most will agree that tuning the exhaust to your needs helps greatly on these engines, I found that increasing the head pipe lenth increases low end power and didn't hurt topend power. To answer your question yes that seems to be a good pipe, if you read through the forum you can control the power band somewhat with a tuned pipe.

That has been my experience as well Greg. Took me a while with lots of testing, grinding and welding. Once I got the right header length it made all the difference in the world.
I really do prefer the mountain bike as a motorized bike. And yours' is a very nice example of one.
Hey sorry I didn't reply sooner!
The frame is a Nashbar mountain bike frame.

The company doesn't sell a complete bike using this frame. They just sell the frame. I found the bike in my local classifieds for like $220. Considering the fork is worth close to that alone (Fox Vanilla 32), I think I did alright!
