AS FAR AS THE GAS , I WAS SO ANXIOUS TO RIDE IT I THREW ON THE TANK AND PUT A SPLASH OF FUEL IN THE TANK ( HAD TO DRAIN SOME IT HAD SOME DEBREE IN THE TANK) AND GO RIDE IT AROUND THE BLOCK A FEW TIMES LIKE EVERY 20 MIN.S AND ITS STILL GOT FUEL . DONT TELL MY BIG DODGE BUT ITS GETTIN PARKED .
SNFU DIDNT KNOW WHO THEY WHERE , HAD TO GOOGLE IT . BUT IT WAS JUST THE FIRST THING TO COME TO MY MIND.

NOTICE MY ONLY BRAKES ARE A PAIR OF FOAM FLIP FLOPS NOT THE SMARTEST THING IVE DONE
As far as tanks, you're better off just using the stock one, once you paint everything it'll look better. I actually made a small aluminum tank to fit inside the frame and had sheetmetal covers to fit the cantilever shape but it was a hassle taking it apart everyday and putting a few ounces of gas in it. Just paint the tank the same color as the frame.
FLIPFLOPS!!! Owwwwwwwwyyy.
Any progress pics yet? I'm anxious to see this one done!

IVE FINALLY MADE MYSELF STOP RIDING IT HALF DONKEY THROWN TOGETHER AND HAVE IT TORE DOWN TO THE BARE FRAME TO FINISH FRAME MODS. SOME ISSUES WHERE DISCOVERED AND OVERCOME. SOME OF THE FRAME MODS I HAD TO MAKE. (LEGAL OR NOT :| ) I HAVE DRILLED TWO HOLES FOR THE THROTTLE CABLE TO RUN THRU THE TOP TUBE COULDNT GET CARB ON OTHERWISE. I HAVE BUTCHERED THE ENGINE CHAIN TENSIONER AND WELDED IT TO THE FRAME TO GIVE IT A FACTORY LOOK. AND I HAVE TO REINFORCE THE REAR BRAKE MOUNT STOPPING AT 35 MPH STARTED TO BREAK A WELD ON IT. sorry i was typing in caps. i have my chain guard trimed to clear engine ohhhhhhh. and the christmas come early preasent to myselt is the custom 27t ( stock with the kit was 44t) sprocket which has taken me from about 20mph to 35 mph.and have ordered a dual pull brake leaver since the clutch takes one of my brake positions on the bars. still dont like the tank that came with and am searching for a awsome looking one to put under the seat. with it out of the way i can put a 5 speed shifter on it for when im pedaling. and i do belive in the spirit of the motorcycle its gonna be painted with some harley davidson paint. will take pics of mods and post real soon
Awesome, can't wait to see it done. I was topping out at 27mph with the 44t sprocket,I was going to buy a 30 before I sold it. The nice thing about the 44 was I could use the clutch to take off from a dead stop like a real motorcycle, I think with the 27 you'll have to pedal and feather the clutch to take off, but 35 mph is worth it. Man I miss the Lazy-Ray!

NO PEDALING NECESSARY EXCEPT FOR FOR STARTING ENGINE EVEN WITH THE 27
