Hi Ronny, I have a moon dog. Engine sits well but tight. The plug cap comes up between the 2 curved bars (Is there a proper name?) below the top tube. Great bike. Looks great and the seat is awesome for a cheapie. Bike is really small though.

(the 2x4s in the foreground with the needle-nose pliers on top is my laser aided wheel truing device. works great except for the laser part )

Here's my "Blue Dog"

No worries for the install...in fact, easier than the Orange from what I understand.

You can see that I'm not using the stock tires...went to a Kevlar tire, a bit smaller, because I was having a terrible time with flats. I solved the problems, you can look on the "other forum" - search for "40 miles to my first flat", and you can read the details.

It's a good bike, but I'm investing a bit into it to make it more comfortable - shock absorbing seat post, and I'm putting a set of Springers on the front. I also changed out the hard seat...so that's about another $80 or so into it...if I had to do it again, I'd spend a bit more on the bike to get something with suspension, otherwise, it's a fine bike.

Good luck!
Mark
