You picked a real sweet motor for the swap. Can't think of a better choice. Post pictures.

Great motor, and great price.  I will have to keep an eye out for a deal like that.  After thinking about that 11 second 1/4 mile, you may want to get brakes that will handle the slowdown.

Someone has done this allready? Thats even better!  Any frame cutting? I think it's a great low cost alternative to a musket. That mill has to be 50 hp, and being a tandem twin, has the right Rumpity-Rump. I love it.

How did you get that shiny effect?  Tape or something?

Wow, did you have to fabricate the frame connections?  Where is the battery going to be located?  Will you be able to stop this fire breather?

It's looking good. What luck that the chain is on the left.
