here are some mock up pics - the tank is sitting a bit higher than it should because it wont sit any lower right now.

i was briefly thinking about how it would ride if i mounted the tank a little higher on the frame, but then the seat would have to be raised up as well and i think it won't feel very good to ride.

until i get the tank figured out, i cant really mount the seat stuff until i know how it needs to fit in relation to the tank.

i am really liking how this is looking so far...it is going to be worth the work (hopefully!) I eventually want to mod the swing arm so I can fit a bigger rear tire on it.

I would modify the frame before cutting into that tank.  Cut the single backbone closer towards the neck and then fab in tubes parallel to the seat.  If you use gradually diverting rails the tank should slip right over.

Hey, Thomas,, you got toe traps on that bicycle?

They hold your feet on the pedals. They have a steel band that has a plate on it that mounts on the side of the pedal that comes up & over & stops on top of the foot, with a strap that goes across the foot in front of the arch.

You can lift with your toes when the foot is coming up & change which muscles are working. Ive seen "Get a ticket" speeds on 40 MPH roads with only a slight ( 10 to 15 is slight there)tail wind in Odessa..
