started with bare frame. my daily rider (if I rode daily). let's see here: hobbit forks, intake some dude in italy makes for speed case to accept larger carb, polini variator, malossi gears, 17 in mags: powdercoated. sissy bar back for seat, vespa grande fork nut with emblem (might be my favorite part on this bike and it's not shown in pictures very well). still need front fender, horn, and bar mirror. oh yeah, and declan originally put this motor together, kudos!

I'm in this version I had a 17.5 mm carb. I sold this engine and since have not put a motor back on this bike. I have a stock kinetic I want to drop in it though... And yes, we grow many types of kale!

Nice bike. Are You using the 13mm or something bigger on that custom intake?
