2010 Felt MP into a(LIMITED SPEED MOTORCYCLE)

Well I finaly Have the Felt MP for my Proto Type that I have been waiting for for nearly two and a half months for it to get here. It is no longer built with aluminum so a Frame tank is out. I will not be proceeding with the build untill after the holidays but the front wheel is off to the bike shop for a drum brake. And if you have not guessed this already this bike will be built with the 4G T Belt Drive that was in my previous videos. Here are a few pic's for now this lighting Kit will not be avalible untill it is proven. Gas powered bicycles are ilegal here in Canada so that is why this Proto Type is going to be a Limited Speed Motorcycle and will be registred licenced and insured. Oh and I forgot the mention This Is My First Build and I will not stop until it is right.

Cool, but i think that is too small, and not colorful.

Real nice work Terry!

Thank you I have been told that there is to much junk around the bike and it takes away from the bike. But this room is in my house too cold to work in the shop it is my hobby room with no benches so it gets real messy at times.

OK so here is the thing I am nearing completion of this bike and I have a tonne of pictures and comments for all of the pics. It would take me a week to do the hole thing so I am just going to post the pic's and slowly add the comments

Showing what the bikes ride height will be with the new front end.

After trying the exhaust on the bike I found that the exhaust is going to have to be cut and re-welded.

Terry,

A couple questions.

1. what type of paint?
2. how wide is that bottom bracket?
3. are you going to keep the original triple tree fork? If not, what size steerer tube?

Thanks, Ed

The paint is from Lordco they did a color match the paint type is PPG Color is called Olive Drab there is about 10 different shades of this color. The black is Por 15 Satin Black. I'm not sure what bracket you are referring to and I have not made up my mind about selling the spare parts yet.
