lol i love the look on your face whilst riding. makes me think of the latest batman's joker

"WHY SO SERIOUS???" haha

looks like fun. i will be riding the tail on the scoot when its done, and in my CRX when i get my license back...

wait, the helmet, or your head?

nice. note the duecebag comments on the page

pics or it didnt happen...

i think you lost a wee bit o compression

uhm, no. guesses wont do me much good here guys. someone has to have seen this tank on a scoot before.

the front triple trees are pretty much done as far as design, i have all the lighting i am using and only need to make the headlights/ turn signal bracket which will be one piece of angle aluminum with a few small pieces to mount the turn signals on. the frame pieces are almost ready and will be mocked up as soon as i weld this damn motor mount

also i think i have come to a conclusion on what taillight to use. i have found a low cost yamaha zuma tailight. it not only mimics the shape of the bike, but it has actual metal reflectors inside the housing VS the cheap chinese plasti-chrome that quickly flakes off...

this is a huge issue for me as i am picky about small things that are wrong, like flaking plastichrome. i will change a whole light assembly because of such things. any noticeable reduced light output is unacceptable... and if i know a cause is there without a symptom i will still attack!

anyway i also have a friend with a zuma, so i can use his bike to make body parts from. i will fiberglass over the sections of his bike that i need, and build the rear panels from there

the top will have two metal tubes running from where my nuts sit to the neck of the bike that will have mounts for the fuel tank, and possibly a speaker. i am considering attempting to run a single high power 4 inch speaker on a small single amp hooked to my cell phone that i will play mp3s from. this idea may get scrapped, but i like to go big when i build things and i think that i can make it work as long as i have the output i need.

i actually started with a much bigger battery in this, and decided instead to go with a stock scooter battery and my discarded benelli battery box, that fit neatly inside the frame. the larger battery will start a car, and will actually also fit snugly inside the frame, but obviously take up much more space, i think one of the earlier pics has it in there.

the gauge cluster will either be:
A:full customized chinese gauges

i take apart the factory clusters and use their insides to build a new gauge cluster using chopped up pieces of PVC piping of different diameters to fit the needles.

this is my favorite, but it will be a lot of work. i will be able to calibrate the speedo because i will have to make the gauges faces myself... but i want to retain my factory functions... like fuel gauge!!!

B: vapor gauge

i love these digital gauges and it will fit right into my bike and take up soooo much less room. they are only a little over 100 dollars now, and are obviously programmable to the nth degree. altho no fuel gauge...

c: simply use my cell phone

i have a speedo in my cell phone with the GPS. i will be making a spot for my cell phone anyway since i will be using it for other functions but i could actually use it by itself for the speedo.


OMG MY BIKE FELL AAPRTTTT!!
