Cobra Cycles Flat Track Racer

[cobra]

I have been lurking on this site for almost a year or more now, and I thought you guys might be interested in seeing something from a new person. I bought one of those 4stroke kits and built a bike with that, but soon got fed up with the lack of quality and how slow it was. So I decided to build my own. Over the past 6 months I have been building this in my kitchen (literally in my kitchen) and I just finished it today. It uses a gx200 clone with a cvt and has a top speed in the high 60's low 70's. On the test ride I let off the throttle around 65ish. I hope this can be a inspiration to a few people.
I also posted this at motorbicycling.com a lot of questions have been answered there if you have any.

The engine is having no oiling issues, I was a little worried about this at first but I only payed about $80 for the engine so I figured why not. I do add more oil than recommend to make up for the difference. The manual says to use half a quart but I use almost 1 quart maybe a little less, but I have had no cooling or oiling issues. Thanks for all the positive responses too guys.
