One **** of a job especially for a first build!

I like the way you fit that SBP shifter kit on that stretch.
How does it run?

Very nice work on that SBP expansion chamber. Looks like you
have been spending lots of money with them. lol I gotta get
one of those throttles.

Are you coming to the race at Willow Springs on Sat June 18th?
9 hours on the Go Kart track then 10 miles on the big track.....

I wasn't aware of a race. If the bike is broken in by then; then maybe ill need to check it out. I just applied the automotive knowledge I already to have to make it work. Bike runs great though. I really cant wait to really get on it ya know...

OK, you got 16 days to break it in. lol
Throw some Opti-2 oil in it and it may be as fast as Bairdco's
GPSed 54 mph 28 tooth single speed China bike.

Best place to get on it is at a race track and the 2.5 mile Big Willow
track should let you wind it out.....lol
Santa Clarita is really close to Willow Springs.

Read all about the race in the purple link in my signature.

There is a Bike Show sponsored by PistonBikes which your
stretch has a more than a shot at winning.

I think you're absolutely right....this is what it's all about, and a little bit more. Nice build, I bet it won't be your last! laff

Thank You Everyone. Now i just gotta figure out why the chain keeps flying off. Just the few odds and ends. This bike is pretty fast thou...
 
Might need to make up a pair of tensioners for the right side. Upper run for the jackshaft chain, lower run for the main chain. You have a lot of chain there!
 
I am debating building a puma as well. What were the biggest hurdles that you ran into?
How does it ride?
I am concerned about peadling it and taking turns?
It is going to be my first build and I want to make sure I have the right bike before I start.
Thanks
 
Ultra sweet build for your first attempt and as others have said would be great even if you were experienced.

I love the Micargi frames and almost got a Puma for my new build and try to widen the tank and make it hold gas but decided to give this on a try:

This was a great frame to work with aside of the threaded rod for the gas tank and the custom front mount... I had to get the jack shaft kit because of the wide tire in the rear.
