itdhpp this is my headlight linkdavec no problem without the cover and i go offroading through the mud if anything its better since the cover let water in but no way for it to come out and the thing sticking out of the variator is the starter cup off an old tecumseh lawnmower so if my battery dies or my starter gives up i can wrap a rope around it and start it the old fashioned way il take some more pics tomorrow when its light out |

Good work! I like it!
There is just something SO great about a ride made from bits and pieces. It may be mostly imported running gear, but THAT kind of build is the AMERICAN way personified!
Enjoy that ride!
