I think it will do 130mph. Anything above 100 will be Ok at the start then with some tweking increase the speed

I got the gearbox parts back from being hardened today so will test it on the road, if I can find some road not covered in snow!

Cheers

Just tried the car in the road and the grub screws holding the gears keep coming loose. I'll try to tighten them tomorrow as its getting dark now. Otherwise I will have to think about keying the gears on

You should key them down with the horsepower your motor is generating.

loving the trannie...for even more oomph off the line and top end you could always throw a wet NO2 kit on it and make up a fogger plate...be pretty easy to add 50% to your hp with enough happy gas i'm still real tempted to throw one on my foff twin build if it needs it..

Changed the clutch springs and fitted an air filter and shes nearly ready to test. The back belt creeps along the pulley so I will put some sides on the pulley to stop it wandering around.

I'll change the radio gear also as it was a bit glitchy. testing is in May

18kg or nearly 40lbs before the weight reduction. I can't see it gettting below 16Kg with the shell on.

The engine can push a 20Kg bike with a 70Kg rider on to 70mph with a single gear.
