Making a cool gas tank

I honestly don't know lol
Haven't even test fitted a motor yet since I figured I'd get gas tank done first. Debating on what to do on exhaust. Have a mzmiamiparts expansion chamber that works well but doesn't match my "theme" :) or to do this....

I'm surprised they did that to the exhaust.. Must be deafening. Actually, now I am noting the seat, the smooth slippy seat with no way to adjust it so it's not so tipped back haha.
Leather (or faux leather) panniers would suit a vintage theme and hide a fuel bottle or two..
 
If you look at most bikes from the era, they did anything they could to save weight. Small gas tanks, small seats..... But very large motors:D
Also aerodynamics.... Slammed seats, flipped handlebars, small light guys would be able to propel them pretty good!

Most bikes didn't have cool paint jobs (that I've seen) speed and functionality were main prioritys
Most racers were drop loop frames since the extra space to allow quicker motor changes

My kind of bike. Straight to the point. Looks cool, gets job done. Goes fast:)
 
Best picture I have of bike almost done. Just have to put white tire on wheel and find some better brakes.... Omg those coaster brakes are not good enough lol

Have a small leak in gas tank. Figured that out after it leaked all over the bed in that truck.... Brand new boards and lacquer oops lol

The first few times you posted on other threads it didn't bother me because you offer some cool looking parts but now, it just gets on my nerves. As much as you've posted everyone knows what products you offer and how consistent you are.
If someone was interested in your parts then they would get on your website and order it. This website isn't for a salesman, it's for people that want to help out other people. I'm actually suprised no one has something about before me. Your products are mostly something people can make.... I've made almost the entire bike from old parts and some of my own custom parts
I don't like disc brakes on such an old bike since most bikes from the era had drums or no brakes at all
