thanks theageofindustry, have had a few problems,went for dyno but had an electrical issue with the wiring, so it will need to go back again for redyno.

so have decided before redynoing will fit one of the new BGM big-box exhausts, so just waiting for them to be released. so hopefully not much longer as im dying to ride it with summer coming.

Well new BGM big box turned up, nice exhaust, well made, but a couple of problems, stripped the factory paint of it to coat in in a special exhaust coating i do at work only to find about 4 holes i it.

any why had them repaired and got the pipe coated up and fitted, only to find that the stand now hits this pipe.

Was very happy with the Dyno, got 19hp and 17flb. only thing left to do is make a new rear brake pedal as im not very happy with the one that came on the kit, needs to higher so you can get to it easier.

Started using the scoot for commuter duty, has been really nice to ride, made a new rear brake pedal, a lil longer and more height in it and it works much better and is easier to get to.

flawless, I love the attention to detail and way that theres nothing that looks like its been left out, all too often builds like this will look great but then theres something that lets it down, usually something very simple, but not here

the brake lever setup is cool.

Ive been around the custom bike and trike world for years, and always find that the really good builds are the ones that people dont always notice, the ones that just look stock or very clean.

its far harder to build something clean and minimal than something with flashy bolted on bits and fancy paintjob.

love it

whats next :) for someone like you theres always another project on the burner, usually Im halfway through a build and already drawing up the next one LOL

Wow! tony thank you very much for you kind words, what started out as a quick bitsa project, turned in to a full on project, this is my first full framed rebuild, ive only built a race scoot before this. Yes the next project has been dragged out and is ready to start, its a low mileage Indian GP, 225 TSI with Nitrous, will start i build thread on this soon.lots of parts to make for this one!
