Hey! its done!
I used round tubing for the frame, 6.5Hp B&S, and pretty cheapo brake parts. The paint i used was called anodized cherry and i thought it looked kinda cool - i think it's related to blue metallic flake (i read somewhere that someone else here used that color). the brake and throttle levers are trusty walmart merchandise and i got cabels from Canadian Tire ($1.33 CAD) ... not sure if they have branches in the U.S. still haven't found checker-plate metal for the foot rests so i'm using metal from dollar-store cookie sheets as a filler for now and im still trying to figure out how to stop my stool from spinning. lol. other than that, i can't stop it from doing wheelies when the clutch engages and it has a top speed of 43 km/hr (+/- 4km/hr) with me on it (152lbs) no idea what the thing weighs and i think the back support looks devilish.
cheers!
