slipper clutch to jack shaft to limited slip diff.
geared at present it will max out in the 60 mph range, geared differently yanks the wheels and maxes out in the 45+ mph range.

I wanna hear it run. Those one into four headers must have a unique sound. Very impressive ride!

sounds pretty good, a lot of people comment on how it sounds, there is a crossover / balance tube between the two cylinders also, its painted black and behind the battery so its not noticeable.

Nice! Very reminiscent of the early fuel altereds of the 60s! I see the HAMB sticker in the body, cool to see a fellow HAMB-er is into mowers!  8)

It needs a hoop bar and roof spoiler and it would look like Wild Willie Borsch..

I love the Zoomies
