I built a bike for Richmond

Ive been wanting to weld up this 103 mount, swing arm, engine, and rear wheel up to something cool for a while. My friend Sara had a general that she said i could have if i taught her everything i know. Deal.

i made this bike happen in a week or so. super rush.
I had the kit, carb, and variator lying around so..
here are the stats

gila kit
tsm head that i hand machined to 70cc. lots of sanding
stock cases matched 3rd eye opened and could be done bigger/better stock crank
4petal malossi intake/ 19mm clamp phbg. spigot wouldnt fit. (it does in my tsm) 92 main, stock needle and idle jet
MBK CDI. works great (thanks Drew)
Gianelli pipe. looks almost identical to doppler.

It ran great at the rally never went above 409degrees. i kind of babied it though. I did push it and went a bit past 50 on the speedo. It has a dip before the pipe hits that i need to tune out.
I have streetmate front end that im gonna get on there when i have some time.
I was riding around and got pulled over and lectured by a scooter cop. he went off the rails saying he could take me to jail right now. On your scooter or what? I went to register it today but the DMV had no heart. ill go back to try the same thing next week in BK.

the bike now has the little side covers that say 5star in the back. I welded up a bracket for a LED tail light. all the wires and cables are a mess. i like it like that.
Im also gonna double up on those square headlights.
the pipe clears curbs too. i was afraid it was too low. it's just fine.

ill get more pics up when i register it and am riding it more
