got it done earlier, and i've been riding it all day. despite how it looks, this thing's solid. no creaks, no rattles. the motor fits perfect. and by "perfect," i mean, it took me a coupla hours to get it in there exactly right.
in my earlier thread, i was saying how i hated that peanut tank, so i fixed it, and i mean i fixed it good. beat the crap outta it with a rubber mallet and mounted it in the frame. it's a little off-center (just a little
) but it actually looks pretty cool. and it doesn't leak! i'll probably end up with a small cylinder tank, there's a lawn mower shop down the street that says they got a few...
the only problem i can forsee is the fuel line. the filter rubs on the head, so i either have to make a heat shield or just wait till my privates go up in flames.
oh, and when i was moving the fuel banjo, the hollow bolt snapped in half. so i threw some wrenches around, kicked my roomates dog, called various hardware, go-ped, scooter, etc. stores to find another one. which i didn't. so i had a smoke, drank a beer, and then i dug through my box-o-crap, found a bolt, drilled it, filed it, and installed it. works perfect.
here's some pics:
