What are the wheels? Covers?

So the oil pump is strong enough to push the oil through an extra 3 or 4 feet of tubing uphill to the tank in the tail?

umm I'm not sure I would trust it.

Beautiful bike though

oil pressure is oil pressure, think about a oil cooler, almost the same amount of oil line, as long is there is enough oil, and the oil pump is allright you will be just fine without worrying about cavitation or an oil starved engine

I saw this too in Cycle World...they are quite cool BUT, I think some of the guys on this site (NOT me) could do as cool or better job.  I love the holes on the engine mounts though!
