any ideas for mounting the tank on this kinda of frame?

I was going to use that Micargi bike frame for my project. I was going to cut off the side panels of the "tank" and weld on a real tank. You could just make a new mounting strap for the tacky looking tank that comes with the kit. You most likely will need to drill and tap the frame to hold a screw.

I decided on the Micargi Bronco frame that will be modded to look like this: http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj9/satoch/Bike12.jpg
 
I invert the brackets.Drill holes and pop rivet inverted brackets.I put 3 rivets in each bracket.Hope this trick of mine helps Connoisser.
 
How about one of these mounted behind the seat post?

That's brilliant! It could even be wrapped in leather to appear like a tool pouch thus preserving the "bicycle" look.

My concern is height above the carb. These engines are gravity fed and do not have a fuel pump correct?
 
1 Gallon Tour Tank

Hey thanks for the link to the tour tank. i think this may look good mounted on the handlebars of the bike. being that i have the ape hangers on this build. im trying to find 1 for cheaper though.
 
It was Old Pete who originally posted the link to Tour Tanks. A veritable fountain of good info (Old Pete) in my opinion.
