Dude that pipe looks amazing :2guns: I bet ya there Loud?

great build tho

i believe you were the one who asked me in what the tank is wrapped in. its not a cover, but the tank is compleatly covered. in holland it's known as neopreen, in english i believe it is neoprene.

 

[bulletpoof]

The ride is looking better all the time. Can't wait for the performance review

it's alive!!

Today i startet te engine for the first time.

[dwarfy]

very nice bud :cool2: the wing goes well with the beetle shell & them pipes look awesome :cool2:

 

[atom3624]

Go on, rev it a bit. Let's hear it roar!
Is it 2WD or 4WD?
If it's 2WD, you've no problem lifting the rear up and revving (just a LITTLE!!).
Of course we want you to video this!!!

Next bit is a video of you giving it 'some stick' as we say.

 

[Tig]

NICE, I reeeeeeaally like how it sounds.
Lookin forward to some vids of it in action.



I think I know what my next purchase is going to be

Hi rocco53 this build is looking sweet as ever,the beetle body with the twin pipe sticking out at the back nice finishing touch:2guns::2guns:
Just a tip for you a would recommend that the ends of the pipe to size them down a touch.
The reason being when you give it wat for you will most definitely trash the pipe when doing a wheelie, that you certainly don't want to happen with all the work you have done to it.

Good point. A decent wheelie bar would probably protect them from that but would be useless in a tumble.

ye i know for a fact the body will take it but the pipe mmmm :no:

 

[pipeous]

sounds good to me. I like the ring

 

[rocco53]

i think i draw a imaginable line from tires to wing and everything sticking out of that line is comming of the pipes. i don't like wheelybars.
becourse the engine is a new build (cylinder and coil) i wil not rev it up too much at the moment. yesterday was the first time ever this engine was running.

 

[dwarfy]

make sure you allow for flexing of the wing and compression of the tyres

 

[rocco53]

good tip. thanx

 

[pipeous]

Just a thought, a spring loaded mount like on the front of my on road might give it some flex just in case. ripping up a rubber coupler would be preferable to damaging the pipe...

just tossing it out food for thought while you brainstorm.
