Thank you! Is that your bike in your avatar? I saw your videos. That thing rips.

Yep , that was when it was only thrust powered , never did ride it that way , but did get it moving around the backyard , the appearance of a suitable freepower wheel had me going forward with shaft power instead , the bike ended up being rather heavy with the huge cast iron freepower gearbox installed but performance was far better than I ever expected/imagined when I first started the project

Figured I'd start posting my build of my jet bike. I'm going to put a different fork setup on it, with suspension. The rear will remain rigid, and I will extend a mount for the rear tire. I'm going to make this as light as I can. I'm expecting this bike to be 150-175 lbs, at least that is the goal. I'm waiting on my parts to be delivered for my afterburner duct (Thank you Racket for the help), so I decided to start building, and I'll fine tune the fuel pressure on the bike. Need to upgrade some pumps after reading on here, but nothing too crazy. Not as sophisticated as some of the stuff I see on here, but hey it's my first one. I'm excited to get this moving. I'm sure I'll have some more questions along the way.
