prototype ghent cruiser parts
Wanted to show you guys a couple pics of the products I'm hoping to have available. I'm trying to gauge any interest. Let me know what you guys think.
- 3" Drop Seat Post, for a more stream lined seat position. lower stance and overall better style for the board track or low cruiser look.
- Ghent cruiser strap on tank, this is a prototype and would love suggestions and feedback.
I will take orders for any of these..let me know.

New tank concept
Hi I would be very interested to know about your tank. Avialability, price and are you going to do a crossover so that the fuel will drain evenly?
Thanks,
Mike

tank details
I thought about the cross over and it's a possibility I could weld two small bungs at the front/bottom however. I think it would be easy enough to slosh the gas over by leaning the bike a little (common among a lot of dirtbikes) and it would have one less connection to leak from. I could have the two bungs with gas line that connects at a t-valve/ petcock of some sort. I was thinking about what to charge. It takes me about 2-3 hours of work and about $25 in materials. So probably $75-$85 dollars for the raw/primered tank, does that seem fair? I could probably have one available within 4 days after I get materials. So 2 weeks is a safe bet. What were your thoughts?

I like those board track style seatposts. I haven't seen any other places that sell them.

Cool. I think I'm the only one selling them. I make them custom right here in my shop. It was a personal choice and I'm hoping it catches on.

yea after I saw a pretty old video showing board track racing I was hooked. I just can't imagine doing 100 mph with no brakes.

link me to the video! I think its part nostalgia and part trying to connect with simplicity for me.. I just love how simple everything was back then.

Seat post would be $30+ shipping. Total = $35.
If you want to send me your seat post I'll do it for $20+shipping. Total = $25.
If not I'll need you to let me know what size your seat post is. Give me about 5 days turnaround to get it back to you. Feel free to email me and I can give you further details or answer any questions.
