          Just when you think you've seen everything! ::) Now, why didn't they do that to.....oh, I don't know......maybe a Harley? I mean, why pick on a smaller Jawa? Says tanks are aluminum, but still!  I don't think any Jawa that I own, will have anything like that hanging off of it. :D

         Why not install a set of "Pedals" w/ a heck of a gear reduction and "MOPED" it? ::) ;D

With a name like Yugo Tech...you seriously gotta wonder if they are gonna last in general. Perhaps they are actually trying to come up with a street legal rocket bike with that set up?

Not to nitpick but the Propane is a liquid at those pressures  ;D

I wouldn't worry too much about it. While it's running, the evaporation of the propane will self-cool the tank. The heat might actually HELP in this respect.
