I was able to find a tank and truss rod for the girls bike. The tank was for a boys bike though. I drilled out the tank rivet trimmed the tab on both sides flipped the tab and VIOLA, it now fits the girls frame.

Possible you can get another one? I need 2, 13/16" both at 70 degree.

Awesome group of bikes this year! I can't get over how quick the time flew by. Never underestimate the speed of the clock. I didn't get to finish largely due to being so busy planning, executing a wedding and honeymoon. Then there is always the job and it's demands. I'll finish up the Blue Max...

I love this bike! Freaking AWESOME!:rockout:

I like the color of it. Very nice.

Well done! Looks great!

Looks comfortably cool!

While on our honeymoon we went and visited my brother. His wife's father had a barn with several bikes in it. Her mother said I can have them all. They will all be here eventually. My brother will load them up and bring them up to me for the cost of fuel. Several gems in the bunch. I managed to...

No, not yet. I just got back from my honeymoon this past Friday. I didn't get much done because of all of the wedding prep. There is probably more left to do than I have time left to accomplish. Right now it looks doubtful I will finish.

I found the pictures of the bike I put together and rode from 1978-1982. It was my brothers bike he got brand new for Christmas 1966. He rode it for years and outgrew it. It sat in the garage for a few years. Believe it or not I threw away the shifter and derailleur, seat and wheels that were on...

Apparently my first check was inaccurate! Well it leaks.:mad: I put in a pint of fuel, just to be sure, and it has a small leak on both ends near the edges. I have ordered the POR-15 motorcycle, tank repair kit. It comes with a cleaner/degreaser, metal prep, the sealer and some fuel stabilizer...

I did the leak check, it's good to go!

I got the tank all put together thanks to Kirk's welding skills. I cut and shaped and he put it together.

OH, Man! What a busy past few weeks. My job and upcoming wedding have been utilizing all of my time and being just to darn tired to work on the bike. It's a motivation zapper! I have got all of my tank parts cut out except for my mounting brackets and that is just a 5 minute job to make those. I...

It has been hard getting time to work on the bike. Work has been busy and this past Saturday I was at an all day concert. I managed to get all of the pieces gathered to start building my tank. The fuel spout and the bung will be cut off the supplied tank that came with the kit. Doing the math I...

Shorty plug installed, problem solved. Time to move to the next phase.

I talked to my brother (small engine mechanic) and he cross referenced a short plug... NGK, BPM7A. I got a couple on the way!:thumbsup:

I got to do a little bit of work on the bike during my busy work week. I took TRM's suggestion and got a piece of hose for the motor mounts. I knew it would raise the engine a bit and as you can see that plug wire fits pretty snug. I also got the seat post re-bent to a 90* angle and mounted the...

Excellent suggestion! Thanks RM!

I worked on getting the chain guard tab cut off with my Dremmal tool. Mounted the engine to see how it fits. I think I have to wedge shim the seat post side a little bit. Everything seems to clear ok. Thoughts or suggestions welcome.
