Thanks for all of this great advice guys (clearly based on hard earned experiences)
Awesome looking ride froggyman! but for the moment I think I'll stick to the open top - global warming seems to be turning Wellington into a blue sky paradise this summer - if this keeps up, a lid is not going to be necessary
True wayyy too much motor for the rapidly growing number of NZ highway radar traps, but there are many NZ coastal and off highway roads absolutley built for this machine - I cant wait!!!
Pretty much set on a Brent Lykins or Keith Craft motor now... I'll let you all know when I nail the overall build spec (getting closer now)
