Not exactly, I rode to the end of the driveway a coupla times. I have a pullstart kit on it right now, till I get the kinks out. It's to wide for the pedals to clear. After I get it running right I'll take pull start off and hook up my chain so I'll have some BRAKES. I got a coaster brake. There are some more pics under Pictures & Videos. You can only do 4 pictures at a time so I put 4 here and 4 there. I guess management will put them where they want them and that's fine. Uncle Kudzu keep the rubber side down!Walter F.

No really, the chopper looks sweet! Time to take that chopper out past the curb and rip it down the street a couple of time!!!!

Looks Good! How is that exhaust system working out?

So far so good, it's 3/4 BX flex conduit. I used the same stuff on my Cushman Eagle too many years ago to count. It works good as long as you don't try to bend it too tight. Happy Trails Walter F.

I was going to ask the same question, I thought that looked like conduit

How did you couple it to the exhaust manifold? No muffler, eh?

Pretty cool bike, I must say.

Just as a tip, you don't have to start a new thread to post 4 more pics, you can just post a reply to your own thread with more. It's just 4 pics per post

Hmmm...I wonder if the flex conduit would work for me. Might look better than the dented pipe I have now (had to beat it with a hammer to bend it)

Price Home Depot 3/4" BX conduit $14.00 for 25 feet. I just cut the flange and as much straight pipe as I could and it fits nicely inside the BX. Look close and you will see I just used plumbers strap for the pipe clamps and painted the whole pipe with Hi-temp flat black. Happy Trails Walter F.
