I know where you can buy one of those mirrors. There is a guy up the road from my house that has one. The thing is that he thinks it is worth $150. _________________ -—--------—-------

I can see how the pedals are linked but I wonder how they did the steering? It's not in the passenger compartment so it must be a chain or cable near the fuel tank.
It is cool how the instructor has all the pedals, not just a brake.
Apparently it's for sale:

I'm not too happy with the faux graphics on the doors. |

It has a steering box on each side.
"This view of the front beam shows the right hand steering box in place (yes...one on both sides!)
A short tie-rod joins the two and stock short rods go to the wheels.
The brake lines and shocks are new as you can see."

Wow, that must result in some serious forces in the boxes and linking tie rod when student and instructor disagree on steering input! |

If that's proper metal work (NOT bondo), then that looks like it'll be really nice when finished! What's the LWB stand for?
