Good day to you. I'm not quite sure yet how to post a photo, or whether I can post more than one. I'll wade in gradually. In answer to your question, I got most parts right here in my garage. I had to buy the engine (Internet), Whizzer rear sheave (NOS, eBay), and miscellaneous parts -- pulleys, belts, etc from suppliers in Springfield. I'll post a pic as soon as I can.

nice looking -- like them simple -- motor bike
that Honda will take you for many miles
I like the looks of your tank
it looks like -- just a plastic tank
I find the HT tanks to look phony -- little boy chopper look

top speed, front pulley
I'm guessing top speed is around 30 plus, because I have to slow it down in town when there's a 25 mph speed limit sign.
The front pulley is as small as they make them for a 5/8 inch shaft, 1.5 inches in diameter. It is well geared, if not a little tall. I have to assist up any significant grade, but I don't mind. No pain, no gain.
