Looking good! I bet that is a blast to do donuts with. What top speed are you aiming for?

I've only taken it on an operational test drive. I can't get a top speed run yet, I need to find a space big enough. I got about 25mph in 1st gear and wasn't reved out. I'd like to see 50mph with it and it looks likely.

Sounds like you might need a pilot’s license I can’t wait to see it racing!

What pulleys and sprockets are you running?

The pulleys I'm running are 7 and 2. The sprockets, I'd have to go over to my dads and count them. It's the stock tiny one that came on the Rugg and the rear is the original that came on a Chinese 49cc quad.
I did get a chance to take it out for a spin. Finaly got it into 3rd gear. I realy should have had a helmet on. My eyes started watering at 40, lost my hat at 50, and backed it down at 57. I didn't want to overrev it.

That’s impressive! Got any video? I really want to see this thing go through the gears.

Well she's 90% done. Exaust is made. It runs and is rideable. Need to strip it down for paint.

I had made an exaust for it. Tho strait pipes are just too loud for my trailer park. And since I had settled on making a muffler long before I started this one, here's the beginning. It's a miniature version of a popular muffler for the automotive world. And since no one realy makes anything, I will. It's going to be a 3 chamber and going to be tucked under the running board.
