The new pipe picked up but it a bit strange on jetting. Using the same 98 jets it ran previously 54 (57.9 with fairing), it ran 57.4 so a quick gain already, and it was very responsive. This is with the 21mm OKO. I put in a 102 jet and it acted very rich before hitting the power band, 4 stroking, bu...

Got the new Polini pipe in last night and put it on. Just buzzed around the block but it feels good. I made some long runs tomorrow and see how it fares.

I am thinking that my pipe is still holding me back a bunch - so we will see how the super-duper Graphite9 pipe is

Testing this weekend...

Made some test runs with the 72cc Athena jug and head today. it definitely needs a new pipe. It is falling off at 9000rpm and should go a bit higher than that. Ran a decent 57.9mph. Strong cross wind and struggling not to blow over. Still fun. I swapped on the turbo and made a warm up pass then in t...

Getting the scooter ready for another trip to Ohio for the land speed races up there. Plenty of work done over the last few months. Fairings are done and painted. I want to make matching belly pans but that will have to wait. Installed the Athena big bore kit 72cc. It sounds awesome and I've only ri...

And they said the Spruce Goose would never fly... Got the turbo up and running today. Now I need a longer throttle cable and some tuning time. The intake pipe is a bit ugly right now and I will remake it with some pipe I have on the way. But it feels good to hear it scream at 11k. https://youtu.be/f...

Thanks! If I can stay home long enough between trips I might be able to make more progress...

Let the silliness continue...

Okee dokee, got the front piece made and now have to figure out how to mount the thing. I figure I'll make a little lightweight subframe for it, rivet it on then bolt the subframe to the scooter to make it removable easily. The rear seat piece is mounted and I'll make a flat bottom tray for it to he...

Looks like a fun build!

PTSG - thanks!

Good info from industry innovator Craig Vetter on streamlining http://www.craigvetter.com/pages/470MPG ... 0Main.html

Finished up the front mold as well today. I'll let it cure a couple days and pull a part this week!

The rear mold actually ended up being really good and we pulled a part from it today. Really happy with it! http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm17/chwdhw/Sidecar%20Scooter/IMG_3919.jpg http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm17/chwdhw/Sidecar%20Scooter/IMG_3946.jpg http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/m...
