Thanks, I've never liked the gas tank I bought that are made for these, too un-motorcycle-y. So I'll be sure to put detailed pictures of the gas tank build. I've also been thinking about putting the old jackshaft I made from a Go kart hub, even thou it never worked right, instead of buying the kit. If I can get my old one working right, that would be great. Then it'll be drivable again

Front Coaster Brake
I created a rig for a front Coaster brake. It works great! The wheel has so much leverage thou it lifts the bike up. I'ma have to create a bumper for the suspension to stop this, I feel I lose braking power from it. Hopefully a gas tank will add some weight and help. We'll see. But so far it stops this thing pretty quick!
Can't see it in these pictures, these were taken right before I added it, but I just put a spring to disengage the brake.
Thought I'd also show off my mud flap, with the Veineas V xD haha, I love the tiny details on projects like these
Any questions, ask. Any constructive criticism, please share

I used the Laser Engraver again today and cut out the Veineas logo. These will be painted and epoxied to the gas tank. Had some free time, so went ahead and cut em. You can also see part of the Chelsea stencil. Think that font would look good on this bike?
I'm merging my two blogs, so after this post, all the progress after this will only be posted here

Gas Tank Phase 1
Made a cardboard Mock-Up of the gas tank, how does that look? I think it'll work
Maybe ya'll can tell me before I get to a pump to measure, but what's the diameter of a Petroleum Fuel Nozzle? So i know what size brass cap fitting to get for the tank.

Started the Gas tank.
If ya'll don't know by now, I am CHEAP! Haha, we just recently purchased a new washer and dryer, the old ones were taken to the scrap. But before that, they were taken thru ABF's scrap xD I took all the sheet metal off em and that's what I used. I just have to wear a face mask when cutting this stuff due to the paint (Probably powder coat or enamel)
I have succeeded in making the over all cost of this project, take a guess, at around 40$!
Acquired a few compressed air power tools in my garage. First time ever using air tools, I love em!
