Peashooter Tribute Build w/Honda GC160

Attempting to make the engine a little more vintage looking.

We fabricated aluminum components for the flathead, fins, and pushrods and added to the engine.

What an awesome build. My project is not near as ambitious, converting a husky industrial bike to "represent" a circa 1909 motorcycle, so far have only cut away the lower upper bar which was a disappointment. Already have run into issues with the heavy duty frame I didn't think I would have, didn't pay enough attention to the measurements, had I welding skills this project would be the way to go. Did find a underhanging tank to do a camo job on to make it look vintage style. Still might get the "look".
My question is that it is going to look fast....how fast do you think it will be. I am sticking with 66cc powerplants because I am afraid I might get carried away speed wise with something more powerful.
 
First Run

Finally got a video posted of the first run. Took me a while to figure out how to convert an analog video to digital and post it to youtube. I compressed the file so the quality is not great. The first run went well, everything worked pretty descent. The bike is fast and takes off nicely. Takes a little more distance to brake than I would like, but it will have to do.

I love what you did with the motor, it went from ugly to amazing! The frame looks great in red too. This build inspired me to start working on my bike again.
