It's a cruiser 70mph = 4k rpm loads left in store for over taking. My speedometer isn't big enough it only goes to 100mph. I can over take other cars, it sounds sooooooo cool without being nasty and i haven't used half a tank of petrol getting home 150 miles and thats testing it out.

I've looked at the other pic's, as I said before "that looks sweet"
Can you still get the original engine cover on?

It looks a real professional job, well done for going that route as opposed to bodging it.

- 120mph! I'm not surprised the steering was light, in the German Log Book it states "Max Speed = 127Kmh"!
How many lanes did you need at that speed?
