Added rear "Spider Web" mesh fender skirts, fake chrome (plastic) cable covering and headlight.
Woody GT-2 Update

Yes, I sealed the tank with POR-15 and added a glass in-line filter. The tank already came with a cap & bung setup; just added some chrome bits.
Wow, the wood fenders looks awesome on there. I really like the bike! Good work. I can't wait to pick up one in few weeks. Are you using the wide pedal kit?
The guys at USA Bikes advised against it (was going to use a 4 Stroker); said the pedal clearance wasn't sufficient. With 2 stroke you have plenty of clearance.
The 3 piece cranksets that come with the 4 stroke kits do the job well; used it on my Felt MP.
Let me know how you like the GT2; the double wall wheels & Grubee HD Axle kit are worth the price of the whole bike, the frame is icing on the cake. The only negative is you ride high in the saddle ([I am 6'], which can be rectified by putting a smaller rim on the rear & a fat 3" tire (motorcycles have this setup).

The fuel tank was stock inframe; I just added the chrome embellishments.
Yes, that's Cody's fine craftsmanship and was the basis for building this bike.

Haha, well that's pretty rad. I checked out his website and the first thing I thought of was, "I need to find something to put those on." I'd like to use either a Felt Chief or a 1903 with a pair of Cody's fenders. I'll see what happens...
Awesome bike, by the way.
A Felt Chief or 1903 would definitely do those fenders justice; wish I had chose the 1903 over the MP since Jim has to make a special adapter/sprocket setup. As you know the Chief or 1903 will work with Jim's existing stock setup.
Can't wait to see your build. Good Hunting.

Thanks for sharing the wide pedal info. Not sure what i am going to do with it. I really like the frame more than anything. Already see i am going to have to change out the front wheel and put disc brake on it. I have been really enjoying my tricycle, so i might go ahead n build the gt2 to be a trike. With 26 in front and 24 in rear with 3 inch tires. I really like to slap the 24x4 from chopper us but 149 per wheel w/o tire is alot lol. also wanted to try n put a 3 speed gear kit with the trike kit. Sooo many choices and soo little of money 
Again thanks for sharing that info.

CityofAngels,
Your trike setup is sweet; a four stroke will definitely be a nice addition. What 4 stroke kit are you thinking about?

AZ Bill,
Thanks for the kind words; coming from the guy with one of the nicest stretch cruisers around.
Still hoping to get up your way for a cruise before the 110 degree days.
