🤣 so awesome. I was wanting to do this years ago but never bothered. I’ll have to look into kits. If they’re cheap enough, I just might still do it 🙂 As for parking, fuck paying that fee. I have night classes and park like 2 blocks away in the spaces marked “No parking from 6am-5pm” since I get there at 5:30ish. I’m just happy I slacked off on getting a permit and found those parking spaces the night of my first class. ---

Night classes aren’t bad for parking… it’s the 9:00 AM-3:00 time frame where everything is packed (on or off campus) ---

Well, here are some “build” pics.

Thanks Jeff. I tacked it back together, but it has a lot more power without it… So I left the can off. Haha. With the muffler can on, it struggles to get up the hill. With it off, I went up as fast as a bus the other day. ---

It pulled on me near the top of the hill, then I had to let off due to some roadkill on the shoulder and a deep-set sewer lid (like a big pot hole… didn’t want to hit that at 25+ MPH), but whatever. More fun than the bus. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/not-really-sure-where-to-post-this-but-it-is-a-street-bike-of-sorts/205296.md?page=1)
