I think I'd use the rotary throttle control from the motorcycle...

Also, a slightly lower seating arrangement would benefit the rider and the aero alike.

If it's rated for high speed use (it has street tires... so why not?) a slightly longer rake on the front end (more caster angle) might help to stabilize it from the front end shimmy that Quads tend to have at speed.

I absolutely must see more of this project. I planned on doing something like this awhile back, but never made it out from the planning stages.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
