    Milestone today: Engine cradle finished. Install tomorrow. I must be slowest builder in the world! Update on rear end. 3:07 was final result. So at 75mph should = 1375 rpm looking for around 9mpg. Now pressure is on to finish with no excuses of waiting on other people to get their part done. Still not in a hurry. Bob

    You go Bob. Good Luck! Pics of everything when finished! 1375 rpm is a little low in powerband for a 2 stroke. Just funnun!

    One concrete area -mostly rock- old metal building. 64 by 80. Old lathe and milling machines..Oh yes and old me. Sort of fits together. Home made –sometimes wish for factory done–but home made is my future. 4th conversion. Life is good! Enjoying the ride!!! Bob PS.
    other hobby is Steam Engines;they are hard on concrete.

    Forgot to mention that is in 10th gear. Can always drop a gear or two if I need more torque. Plus got a pre egr engine (2000 yr). Bob
