You can achieve 90mph w twins. I want to cruise at 80-90 mph and top out at 110-115 mph.

The first pictures show a center drive, what have you done with the hole?

Or are you just dragging the upper?????

That is an old housing that I plated the bottom just to connect the steering.

That's great, I was wondering how you pulled that off too.

Can't wait to see how it runs with three!
