[Terry Blow]

Here are the latest pictures

Rear tail light,brake,park,licence plate,signal light braket is fabricated and ready for paint


The battery box is mocked up it is 8"x3"x4" I will be welding it up this weekend you can see the keyed kill switch on top and the power lighted On Off switch just below.


Found a good deal on a pair of dual crown front shocks will change the ride hight 2" higher and the handle bar hight 3" higher the will get a coat of Green paint on the lower half and everything above the lower clamps will be painted Satan black.


And they will save me from welding disk brake tabs on the stock Felt MP front end

This has been a very productive day here are some of the latest pic's with the front shocks installed. Kind of changes the hole look of the bike. But the paint slaited for the font shocks will make the MP look the way it was meant to look when it is done.



Satan Black Deluxe Poo Poo Pipe looks so good

Hi Terry,

The bike is coming along nicely. It is looking good.

One suggestion I would make. When taking pictures always try to find a neutral background or at least not one that is busy with either other bikes or surrounded by wires tools and parts. It makes it easier to see the bike and admire your hard work. Your picture of the forks is a great shot for example. Also, showing a messy workspace doesn't inspire confidence in people that may be interested in purchasing your product and this solves that problem. Heaven's knows my own workspace is usually a mess as I dive into the project but nobody needs to know that except myself.

Someone should write a thread about taking good pictures. I'm not a professional but it always drives me a little nuts when I think a bike looks nice but can't be sure because the picture is poor.

In any case your bike is looking good and I think you will really like the ride!

 

[Terry Blow]

Oh and Thank you Fairracing I never seem to have enough time get everything done that I need to but it is getting there. The latest problem is now the deluxe pipe has to be cut and re welded. It is not even close to lining up so it is a good thing I got some practice welding on the battery box.

 

[Terry Blow]

Thanks Clotho that room you are seeing is my hobby room no work benches to put tools on, And all the business are all my RC aircraft and such it is just a little to cold to work in the shop but I will keep that in mind when taking future photos When this bike is done I will do a good photo shoot and you will get to see every detail I promise. Also am going to do the 4G performance video's over again with the MP licensed and insured.
Thank you for your advice I will always listen

Terry,
That's a great looking project. I was curious on your light list, where and what you got to make it all complete. I'm working on looking for some to put on my military murray. I plan to put the battery in an ammo box mounted to the sides of my rear rack. Let me know. Later.

 

[Terry Blow]

I am currently developing this as a kit and it will be available soon but it is a little on the pricey side because all of the lighting in the kit is DOT SAE approved motorcycle lighting for the road. Also have engine kits set to arrive in the near future with a generators and that will tie in with my lighting system here is a link Total Products
I am developing these kits because here in Vancouver B.C. it is illegal to ride these bike unregistered and insured.

Cool Terry, keep me in the loop. I want to set the bike up with a good lighting system, so travel is possible. Plus I got a delivery service starting up soon. jetting through traffic kind of necessitates having brakes and turn lights, not that drivers in Florida pay attention to or use their signals anyway, dangerous waters you could say. Plus I am also looking to move to a 4-stroke with generator for this reason(lights). I'll move my 2-stroke to a race bike. Keep up the good work and let us see some video when you get the lights going.

 

[Terry Blow]

When the kits FINALY show up I'm going to post it where every one can see it. And when it comes to videos I am all over that like white on rice. I want to do the whole performance series over with the new Felt MP lights a blazing may even try a night video.
