I've been reading the forums here for a while, since I got my 49cc kit engine. I've been into bicycles, cars and motorcycles and had a few spare bike to choose from. I chose an old, non-suspension Stumpjumper for my project since I'm rather fond of the older "standard" gentleman' bicycle-based motorcycle, circa 1895-1910.
Since I didn't have an appropriate tank I used the little peanut tank that came with the kit. **** thing has come loose three times and pivoted upside down on the top tube spraying gas everywhere below (engine, legs, shoes). After the third time I vowed to finally make a new tank that fit within the diamond of the frame suspended from the top tube.
I've been happily riding my motorbike for a few months now and probably have about 200 miles on it. I switched over from synthetic premix oil to a castor based oil (Blendzall) and instantly made my motorbiking experience 200% better. I guess I'm just old school and love that smell. Well, it's a work in progress and I'll probably be posting photos of my tank build in a bit.
This is the look I'm after...
