Just a ? about how that thing is gonna run when the distributer gets wet ie in the deep mud and rain. I know it's the beater, but a hood might be a good idea. maybe cut the top off instead for your weight savings. Just my .02
Oh and the pics on webshots are the same size you got here.
dont cut the top off without cageing it first. that thing will be way flimsy if you chop the roof off. look on pirate for bansheemans blazer, it will give you some good ideas
