If it's taching too high at speed because of that 16" rear wheel, you can switch to a 16 tooth counter shaft sprocket from the stock 15.

I've modified a Mitsubishi trans cooler to work as a engine oil cooler, hope it doesn't restrict air flow to the head.
still not sure about that steering lock? May look for a triple clamp with a bigger offset for more lock, and keeping
forks away from tank, any suggestions?

projects coming along nicely sir.

i believe the steering lock is only going to be a problem on low speed turnarounds in the road and such.

keep us posted,
