Working on a custom pod for oil press, keyswitch and idiot lights. I'm also going to build a brake reservoir into this with a brass sight glass and brass filler cap.

Made the brass cap(old torch valve) and bung($1.50 clearance air hose coupler) for my brake reservoir. Going to weld in a little tank in the piggyback ignition panel... Maybe a 3/8 sight window.

MAN!  What a build. Read through the whole thing this afternoon...

I have to wonder though...do you have to hold yourself up riding it?  It does not look relaxed or comfortable to me at all.

This was a fast project, about 4hrs start to finish. Going to get powdercoated loss gloss black to match cases. Didn't spend a lot of time with weld prep and welding.

If you hit 88 mph while you're using it, do you get a chance to do space travel like in the DeLorean?  Oops...sorry, that's a flux capacitor! :)
