That is different, but in a GOOD way, very interesting build. Still looks like a fast steerer tho. not that there is anything wrong with that!! :thumbup:

It does steer quick but it isn't scary at all. Better than a moped at least!

The rubber mounting on my engine is very effective too. I only see buzz in my mirrors at idle. Anything over that and it is smooth

I must say you have done a great job of getting that bike up and working - far more skill and talent than I have. It looks as though the steering geometry changed a bit during the build - I'm glad to hear it all worked out!!

:clap: Nice custom build Jason. I commend you on your efforts and hard work to make a truly one-of-a-kind and modern looking ride. You'll definitely turn heads and be fielding loads of questions and comments from spectators. :thumbup:

The big question is are you enjoying it??? Otherwise you can drop it off at my house :P
Do you know the weight? It looks tiny and nimble.
Pretty neat, and some interesting mods.

One of the best things is that you have completed your task and have a bike you can enjoy, despite some heavy criticism etc at the start. Good effort :-) . I bet it stops well !!

I am enjoying it, it is a lot of fun to ride. Interesting question about the weight, I never thought to find out. I will have to find a scale around here and see what it comes in at.

it does stop well too. I haven't had to panic brake yet though, thank goodness!
