I tried a pair of Bunton tanks on my Workman early on, couldn't stop brand new vented caps from leaking fuel. There ok on a lawnmower but on a hill with potholes is another thing. Maybe with the right cap.

Many times that problem can be corrected by forming a new cap gasket & making a tiny vent hole over to one side, rather than the center.

A friend of mine has been thinking about making a gas tank out of an old propane cylinder like this http://mclendons.com/img/products/10/10225120.jpg. He wants it to lay sideways in front of the handle bars. The gas cap would be mounted on the side (which will be the top). I think it would look a lot like these tanks. Personally I don't think it would look that good but I prefer clean looking bikes and he prefers rusty rat bikes so these tanks would totally fit his style.

Anyone ever find a supplier of behind the seat cylinder gas tanks that attach to the bottom of the seat or seat post?

Where do you find parts for the drive shafts? I want to use a Honda GX200 for my next project, but I cant find simple parts.... lol I want to do a sheave drive similar to your build. Thanks for any help.

AffordableGoKarts.com is a great source for 4 stroke builds.

Back to the subject I found a place that makes nice custom and pre-fab Aluminum gas tanks.

Coyote Tanks in AZ http://www.coyotetanks.com

I had them fab me one with brackets to mount it to to the seat bolts and used the spare rag joint metal semi circle pieces as the braces.

~$120 delivered for the tank which was custom, I had them offset the filler and put on mounting tabs the width of the seat post bolts.

The bike is a rare Fleetwood Cadillac with a NuVinci N170S disc hub and new springer front fork and handlebars, Jackshafted 2010 66cc Skyhawk and SBP X-chamber.

The tank made the bike I think ;-}
