Dude .... serious skillz and out the box approaches on that bitch . How she handle the boost with those pipes ? Shovels don't flow worth a damn once they start getting kinks in the pluming.
Notice you're set up for dual plugs , measure the centerline between the towers on the mag cap I've got a molded splitter that lets you run 4 wires off a stock coil. It fits it's yours .
The pants ..... seriously ?

Thanks guys. I'm glad you like it! I was unsure how it would go over here. I'm a mechanical engineer, so that's where the design aspect comes in, but I just taught myself how to weld and use a bridgeport by reading books and talking to people. And by wrecking lots of stuff along the way. I'm currently 32, so not THAT young.
Thanks for the offer for the coil, but I am running no battery just a magneto and a capacitor, so I can't really use a coil. Again, thank you.
It runs well, I ride it constantly. I've got no videos of it, which is a shame, I will try to get some soon. The turbo is VERY loud. Still doing some tuning and whatnot.
The Chevelle belongs to my landlord. It's a 69 I think.
I don't think so. I'll have to look back through the archives.
I think the badges are hilarious, although I did have a guy threaten to kick my bike over for disrespecting the "motor company".

I think I would get a shorter backpack so it doesn't ride on the fender. Sure hate to see the fender get scuffed up.

Definitely a unique bike and you built it to suit yourself, a person can be proud of that, great job.

He's offering the splitter, not the coil, in case you wanna run all 4 plugs. Nice scoot, btw.
