the 2 things I personally would change....with that much 1 wheeled potential...BIGGER REAR BRAKE....and I would have kept the front dual disk, even though I realize that doesn't coincide with the look of a traditional flattracker...then again, this thing is far from traditional...

I love the exhaust though!!!

   put spoked wheels on it 

I seem to remember at one point during initial tear down/mock up it had a set of spokers on it...I wonder of the torque from the rear affected the spokes in keeping an airtight seal?!?!?!

That answered the question "I wonder what it would be like to...".  Tremendous work and end result.  But I think I would still prefer the original D16.

i'm reasonably sure the guy that owns that one has a handful of them and one is "more regular"...
