That really is nice. Have to say the exaust out the back would look cool, also, how does the rear tail light work?

Thank You! You are right I am trying to figure an exhaust. Spooky Tooth says theirs will fit but they have been waiting on a shipment forever! The light is just battery operated and has a ball bearing that rolls forward when you stop and makes a contact. But the filament fails with the engine vibration! Ha Ha. I am trying to modify to an LED. See demo video here;

Thanks but I bought one of the widw cranks fron Spooky Tooth. Not too much ($18) and it works great. I was gonna "dogleg" it but I'd have to had gone to a welder.
