Thanks, y'all! Yeah, it's a total hoot to ride, though the seat is a bit firm... but hey, you don't build a bike like this for comfort!

Congratulations!!! :laugh:
Was it a nice feeling driving it the first time?
Seems like the old man liked to sit on it, maybe he is used to drive bikes?
So now you have to start a new project, so we can sit and look for ideas and solutions on things!

Oh yeah! Well, you know... it's thrilling, but you're constantly listening for the clank and tinkle of parts hitting the road behind you.Was it a nice feeling driving it the first time?

He still does!Seems like the old man liked to sit on it, maybe he is used to drive bikes?
Hahaha! After it gets too cold to ride, I'll stop tweaking on this and get back to building guitars and amplifiers!So now you have to start a new project, so we can sit and look for ideas and solutions on things!

I made an end cap for my Kerker out of a peanut can, plus fixed a couple of exhaust leaks at the head.

I made the same kind of silencers for my car. There was no way I was paying the going rate for these. I used soup cans that worked perfectly. Also, you can change the hole size to get the sound you like.
