i like it
the only thing i don't like is dual filler caps on a peanut tank.
yea thats just the way they were made, one is a dummy cap. no opening to the tank
thanks though
and thanks to the moderators for moving this, i wasnt sure if it would go here or off topic since its "off the topic of cars"

I like the handle grips =P

i like it all except that back tire looks like it needs a little air lol
lol yes i know it needs air
once i get it running ill air it up

also grips are a finishing thing, ive got them just got to put them on when the time comes haha
and the seat i personally like just that little offset looks good and accents the green nicely . gives it a little class i guess you could say
