That looks awesome- Good Job!! It's so cool that the bottle is tucked under the hood.
I'm thinking you should ditch the heavy Moto arms and go with Cannibal lowers, cut the plate off the bottom of them, then make some aluminum uppers. Mydreamride may be able to hook you up with those. You'd have to rework the shock point, too, but it would save some weight and maybe fund some other part of the project. You could lose the cross bar on the handlebars, those bars are super stiff, I would guarantee you won't bend them in drag racing. And go to some cheap-o ITP 120's for wheels or at least the stock wheels. Have you got the front tires pumped up to about 15 psi? Less resistance...
Just my thoughts on some next steps.

Thanks for the suggestions and compliments. I have a set of stock speed arms up stairs i was going to put on and put these arms on my other cannondale soon. Yea ill go out and take that handle bar cross piece off right now lol. I have a full set of douglas .125's with double buffed haulers and smooth front but havent put them on i like how they are only 12 lbs tire and rim thats real light i think and it should love turning the tires lol. I know i should probly put back on my stock axle instead of this moto axle that should save a little bit to, im just a little lazy right now.
