Not bad clubmn , does it still extist or has it been chopped for parts ? I tried something similar years ago but didn't get as far as yours , mine had a lot lower seat (drivers head at rocker cover height) and chopper style foot pegs way out the front . The gearshift was the problem as there was no way to reach over the motor for a long lever like your's , a linkage like the fang has could be interesting though ....

Chopped it up after I realized it was a little 2 dangerous as a bike, all the weight was at the back and u morealess had to sit on the fuel tank to keep the thing down. The gear linkeges were actually made and the shifter was just under the tank before we dismantled it. If it was auto it would have been better.

Anyway the setup went fantastic when it was fitted to a buggy
