Need some Constructive Critisism! Tell me what you guys think!!
Well here is my bike tell me what you think. Yes I know it is messy, but..... Im still having a little problems. Like today my throttle broke. Are there any metal ones? and also, My engine struggles to get up to like 26mph (with gears)? Is this normal? Im on like my second tank of gas, engine is new, and im not fat.

It might help the speed if the carb. was level. It needs to be to work properly.But looks good .Does the exhaust burn your leg?

Re: Need some Constructive Critisism! Tell me what you guys think!!
I see you are using one of my intakes.
They work great...but only if you can set the engine level in the frame.
For this build I would try the factory intake.

Carb cocked. Fuel filter upside down. Throttle cable sheath looks very "tight". Chains look very loose. Photos of the other side would be nice indeed. Looks like you have some leaks.
You are getting close, just need to set it up and tune it in.

Yes, I'm trying to deal with the chain problem as of now. Any my cheap plastic throttle broke today. Does anyone know where I can get a new throttle? I dont want those cheapo ones again. Something metal would be great? Some weblinks might help as well.
