One great big tuning machine as a shifter?

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Love the idea of the flat bar shifter.
I envision tuners mounted on either side, but that might be a bit to much.

OK. You guys are all officially out of control!
This is a bicycle! It's bad enough there's an amplifier on there!

Congratulations, be safe out there.

That's what the class was for... hehe...
I actually don't even have a bike, but I've got a whizzer style in my head. May convert my old 63' Schwinn, SGT.ROCK, into a gasser. I think it'd have the right vintage WWII look, and it's a good strong frame.

I believe I know where I can get an older horizontal shaft motor on a mulcher that runs good, and do a full street legal conversion. It's be a cool putt-putt around town critter.

I've got a lifan Briggs clone I've been looking for the right frame for, for the same type of project.
Gotta get the Indian done first tho.

Good luck with your build.

Thanks, now that I've got some things done I can get back to mine too.

Sweet badge..Let's see that tanklifier!..

Bass key might make a cool thumb shift. Whammy on the tanklifier would be cool too..

OK...

[Chad T]

Love it!...

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Here's the back of the tank, that's where the input jack, on switch and vol knob are at...

Little bit later I have the chain on and the thumb shifter on the seat post...

Started on the guitar rack too...

Wow ! Very cool ! Love those crazy handlebars too !

Me too. They're the bottom half of some apes and a set of adjustable bar ends!

Almost has a tortoise shell pick guard look to it. Pretty cool.

The back of the amp? It's black pearl pickguard material!

[The Renaissance Man]

Keeping with the theme, how about adding 1/4" jack covers at the ends of the brake cable so that it looks like a signal cable?

Or maybe an XLR cable end?

 

[deorman]

Amp capability aside, the "tank" is a major stylistic improvement, it pulls the bike together as a coherent whole.
