Yes it does...So tempting to save the 2smoke for another build????
Tonight I got the fender cladding done and the neck tube situated with the top frame section...Gonna add side gussets to box the profile down some and add strength to it..

That's way cool!

Very interesting. Outside the box for sure. Who knew you could build a kitty out of steel

Nice touch with those cutout holes. Adds a good dimension.

I like how you added cup holder pockets; can't tell you how many times I've wished for a place to put my beer...

Thanks for all the response...Those are called "Speed holes" in the drag racing comunity..Lol..I so want to put the Briggs engine in this thing and save the 2 smoke for a "Smaller" build with 8 inch tall tires..Lol.Plus with the speed holes I can access the spark plug better in a tall 5 horse flathead.This machine is right at 23 inches on the wheelbase 17.75 inches from ground to top of frame section.

I got the side gussets tacked in place...I know now I an NOT using the 2smoke if I can.???..It looks lost in the frame now with the tall neck?

Well that worked out pretty good! I am able to fit the 5 horse Briggs engine with the shallow updraft tank...Looks awesome in there!


I got the new foot pegs mounted on the .250 plate forward controls bracket bent into shape..Will have to shorten bracket/peg mount about 2 inches to clear the new front brake caliper in the turn radius..

Thanks!..I got the new 14inch bicycle apes on it and trimmed the foot peg mount back about 2 inches...Feels comfy sitting on it.Next is to get the brake calipers and controls situated.
