It's a cool looking light, would definitely be killer in OD green. Is it off a scooter with an integrated headlight/speedo? If so, can you see the speedo from the rider position? It might look a bit silly if there's a guage there that can't be seen. I don't know if you plan to glass over the speedo or not.. it might be a good place for another aircraft guage. Cheesy

here is what the headlight is off of. Honda Express moped.

Ya its got a speedo that reads up to a whopping 35 mph. Most likely do an aluminum cover rivited on.

Bike will eventually be turbo'd. when I have enough money for an oil pump, water pump, fuel pump, Fuel pressure regulator, intercooler and ignition management.

I need to find the same size light for the headlight. its got a 15 watt sealed beam. Id like to go with a 35W HID H4 bulb and matching bucket.

actually it works really well. Its more powerful than the brake being on the wheel.

Lots of cars, trucks, and buses have trans brakes. You have the advantage of gear reduction on your side. wouldnt work on most cars because they have open differentials.

The size rotor im using is HUGE for the brake setup. Id almost be willing to bet this rear brake setup will be more powerful than the stock savage FRONT setup.

Moto GP used this system in the 70's. banned it because of chain breakage. Chains have gotten much stronger sense.

Gonna look up some tutorials on it. Tips or tricks will be greatly appreciated. And as always I love comments and or criticism on this build.
