new switchblade build

hey guys i have chopper fever , the recent swithblade builds listed here on the forum has sucked me in and and i just had to give it a try. so here we go again with another build. picked-up a new switchblade in black and started breaking it down to start the build. i used a 80cc kit with a (SBP front mount), will change the cranks, and build a custom pipe, i mounted the tank on the front forks and ran the lines through the down tube. here are some progress pics of the work so far.

Well, I must say it certainly is different. Not a chopper person but this got my attention. How about the exhaust, looks like may drag the street. The engine looks like a peanut sitting way down there. I bet you draw some attention with that one.

Good show, I like things that are not run of the mill. You make this picture gallery interesting.

Thank you for posting the picture.

So far it looks good, but the carburetor seems to be sitting at a bad angle. You might need to fabricate a custom manifold so it sits level.
Keep up the good work!
