Looking good!

One question though, why did you use a single upright section at the very front? It would be a LOT stronger if you used a vertical tube at each front corner, the front suspension would be working from a more rigid frame...

Since this engine is not aircooled where did you put the radiator, can't seem to make out where that would fit.
