I concur with Anne. While it is in bare bones mode it is easiest to see the lines of the bike. Is there a way to tilt the engine so that the bottom line formed by the base of the engine repeats the line of the (what do you call that frame part... the chain stay?... what leads to the dropouts.) Not a big deal, I guess, but if it were mine I'd like the two lines more in accord with each other. I like that engine.

I am thinking that the head tube is to straight up and down, do a search rake and trail. Looks awesome ............Curt

Thanks Curt will do, the front rake is something I'm going to revisit. There was a thread on here I've been searching for for days? Anyone? Diagram and measurements.

As for the frame, it's 4130 tube and tig welded, fingers crossed

...a very talented 15 year old boy! I wish there were a build thread somewhere to refer to. Twin 98cc midgets of the later design, yes? Beautiful, clean build.

I'll try to see if I can find a build thread for this bike and if I do I'll post the link for it. And yes it's a beautiful clean build alright :)

Apparently it won a prize at a motorcycle show which comes as no surprise at all really.

Edit: Found this on You Tube...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZKXa9PQSMk

Nice to see in the little video the appreciative old timers admiring the young fellow's bike. Hard to believe, perhaps, but they were all young fellows, too, once upon a time...
