First build, happy to find a place with so much wisdom!

I like to use the 4L (1.1ish gallon) fuel tanks. They don't sit any lower, but if larger is what you want, they are great tanks. The main reason I like them is that they don't mount with studs, and instead use bolt through clamps at both ends.

Example of one. https://www.amazon.com/Tank-Motoriz...3&psc=1&mcid=0bd7b76c0c5b38c192c5797fc5eb6b5d

Today's update. Cable ends come in tomorrow but I ran and squared away as much cable as I could. I will definitely need to weld the kits sprocket on the 18t fixie sprocket to get it going. After the sprocket is corrected and I put the end cap on the clutch and throttle cables I should be ready for testing.

Any opinions on what to do with all the open space above the engine? I do not want a larger engine but am considering a larger fuel tank.

Make a rectangular tank that straps below the frame tube. That will give it an early motorcycle look

Frame bag with a pump and tools and spare tubes?

Slight update, I found out my rear inner tube is completely compromised so I cannot test it. I did however fit check the new tank, rewrap the handlebars (although I forgot to purchase the finishing tape) and I have been adjusting and tidying up what I can.

Should I be concerned about not all of the bolts fitting on the rear sprocket? The lacing has prevented those two from being compatible with the bolt holes.

Tips, suggestions and comments on the new tank or overall build are welcome. Happy weekend!

Measure the hub diameter and figure what size adapter you'll need. One of the best upgrades you can get over the stock kit.

Rag joints only fit on hubs with a spoke count that is devisable by three. Looks like you have 32 spoke wheels. You need all the holes filled to put even pressure throughout the wheel or else it will bend.
