Thanks for the comments. The ride is pretty comfortable - the front forks, the seat, and the tires work well together. It won't wheelie, but gets going pretty well. It is geared pretty tall, but accelerates decently. Its also larger in size, similar to a Baja Heat.

thats good you have the bike so it won't wheelie on you. this way you can take off fast with out the front end coming up all the time. must have good forward weight and tall gearing. making it a good cruiser.............................:scooter:

I took it for a drive this evening to a buddy's house, just under 2 miles each way. It cruises nicely, I'd guess I was going over 30 mph in a few spots - I paced some cars from a distance, hanging back so they wouldn't notice me too much. My daughter (13) wants to ride it, so I definitely will be fiddling with the throttle limiter to keep the speed down.

Thanks for all the feedback - I'm stoked about how it turned out. A lot of the ideas for how to do the fabrication came from the projects here, and when I had questions I got some good tips from members directly.

When I sketched out the frame sides for the cardboard pattern, it was kind of hard to visualize the finished size of the bike. I think it is about the length of a CT70 with a lower seat height, or about the same size as a Baja Heat/Carbon.

Here it is next to a DB, a MTD frame, and a frame that I'm not sure of the make.
