So any ideas of what this bike is going to weigh? What were the rules for the class you guys originally targeted this project for? Working headlight/taillight? Were you allowed to run total loss?

Not sure on the weight scottly, around 420lbs at a guess. It's been built for Street ET so I asume it needs lights ???
It won't run total loss as the starter motor is still in there and the battery needs to be recharged.

(English translation) RUBICON, the point of no return  8) 8) 8) time to go for it then Billy ;)
Although we didn't make the 12 month deadline for todays race, let's not be down hearted.
There were lots of problems finding some of the parts for this motor (mainly seals and minor stuff) so it's a big thanks to Mike, Jon and Rick who did the machine work and managed to get the bike to Valdosta saving me quite a few $ in transportation.
I hope to have dates for next season in a few weeks so we can give ourselves a new deadline.
Good luck Billy, as team manager, it's your turn now. ;)

Sam. ;) ;)

Eric, Dennis, Brent, thank's for the kind words but it's all down to Murphy, Mike worked wonders on the motor.
He scowered the planet looking for parts, I just hope I can get three years of fun out of it and my body also. :D
Thank's for your support guys. 8)
