The fenders might need to go. I've heard horrible tales of them breaking off and causing a crash. I believed it, but didn't heed the warning. Mine broke off and almost got me. Be careful.
Also, it needs a front brake!
Otherwise, it's cool!

Sweet. I just couldn't see it in the video I guess.
You can also reinforce the fenders if you want to keep them.

I agree those fenders might Cause trouble. Specifically the flimsy mounts. I had that kind on my huffy Cranbrook, replaced then with 3/32 x 1/2 steel barstock from the hardware store. Solid as a rock. Still inspected them before every ride regardless. Sweet ride!
Thank you. Fixed the head problem some more parts are due in today.
It climbs hills no problem now even with 260lb rider

Sounds like you need to adjust your cones. Here's a link on how to do it. This site has everything you need to know about the bicycle part of your build. Good luck!!

the gt80 kit showed up but the bolts to mount it to the jug were to long and the shorter one i picked up were to. the choke rod hits the frame so more work.

Cheap fenders have caused someserious accidents, broken bones, and ER trips to members on this forum. Just saying. There's a plastic set you can buy on ebay that don't mount right ON the wheel like that, they mount higher.
