I have custom made double wall wheels that are doing fine so far.(cost a bundle) Getting the electrics working is tricky you have to setup some way to power it all. And there is no buddy seat. It costs more to build one then it costs to buy a china bike if you can find a china bike to buy that is. At least you wont get ripped off multiple time trying to buy a motorcycle like I have been. Just know the cost can add up very fast. Getting it reged is super tricky but Ive heard of people doing it.
Okay thanks for your reply I have to rethink that now

Ps you may have saved me a bunch of money!
