Man, I'm diggin' that. Really like the look of the ld, and also the idea of a jap 2 stroke single that'll go like f%$k. You lucky boy. You'll have to keep us posted on this one!

i love the look n headlight in horncast of the ld ,but the slow boring 40mph with constant threat of drive shaft snapping or rear hub breaking away n overtaking you killed it for me . was thinking of a auto conversion at the start ,but then the kx opportunity loomed up . going to be a long term back burner type of deal ,so dont hold the breath on further updates .but will post as there happening .

It's like looking at the raw ingredients of a strong Belgian beer. When finished it looks normal, smells a bit different and blows your socks off!
Can't wait to see some work on this.
