So here is a quick update. We have the rear hubs and rims sized. Still need the front spindles to assemble the fronts. After Christmas we'll get the rest finished up.

The last one went 52mph on a GPS. Really they are stupid fast with the modified engines.Originally Posted by Golden

Lmao that is insane! You ever crash one due to the high center of gravity?
They are so bottom heave due to the 1/8" thick steel construction that they are actually pretty stable. This one is mine and it has a small system on it too. You can only do short bursts because you still need to stop the beast.
The old saying " hey hold my beer" really applies with these though. I had one that someone got stupid on and it tossed him off like a rodeo bull. You don't want to let anyone just take it for a ride. But then again, you wouldn't just hand the keys to your hotrod car to someone to take it for a rip.

Don't know of a more worthy candidate for a full cage than this.
I so would kill myself on that damn thing.

Just another deplorable American...
I ordered everything else to finish it this weekend. Tires, spindles and the real cushion for the barstool. Should have everything this week.

I'm not sure if I like this new cushion or not?

I took an Otterbox defender Iphone belt mount and cut the clip off and made these two brackets to clamp around the handle bars and hold the phone mount out of some scrap aluminum stock I had. This will allow me to see the speed with an app I have downloaded. I'll put something on the back side to hide the band saw marks later. Maybe a polished plate, or even some left over wide black striping material I have laying around. I'm still waiting for the tires to arrive from the Left coast.

So it took three weeks to get the tires out of California. They showed up and are all cosmetic blemish tires!!! The one pictured had a slice in the side wall and chunks missing from the tread. I was PISSED!!!
The place is going to replace them all with good ones, but I have to send them back and wait for them to come back again.
