Actually thats an old pic Fin. When I added the chamber I made a bracket, lowered and bent the stand to make it more stable....

This is me in June when I first started riding these motorized bikes and this was my first build, a Staton-inc inside drive with a Subaru EHO35.
This is me as I think I am on a good day. I used to be quite a good motor even with a hundred pounds in a trailer. "Living in the Past", I think Jethro Tull sold me that album in the early 1970's.
I was referring to the skeleton and the apparent position of the support "kickstand".
Dawg that is shweet. I've always thought about building me something similar.
But for safety considerations,you may need to change that gooseneck for a BMX type,by evidence of what happened to our good friend Turbo.

Someone else said the same thing... I think what happened to Turbo was because of a faulty neck, not because of the size of the bars! (His was a aluminum neck, probably from China?)
The necks on my "ape bikes" are old school Chicago Schwinn necks that are heavy steel... (very strong!)
You are right that an Astrabula forged steel stem is way stronger than a poorly cast aluminum stem that looks good. Even a well cast one needs to be considerably thicker than the steel.
True that. The steel goosenecks are pretty strong. And it looks like if the neck doesn't stick out as much as Turbo's did then it doesn't look like much of a worry.
I tried to fit a BMX stem on my trike. It seems they make these stems too thick to fit in my fork. So I'll just keep an eye on mine.
