after going over and over on a gas tank , cheaking out ebay for small motorcycle iam going to build one ,

just add 1/2 longer at the bottom left . maybe 5 inches in front to 4 inches in rear wide , it will be hanging on tabs not welded to the frame

Very nice!!!
I can't wait to see the new tank.
Why didn't you just lace a different hub into the 24" rim? (I'm just curious)

still working on the tank ,waiting for my gas cap weld on bung.
my 24 inch wheel had a 3 speed internal hub and it would not work ,

That's one sweet looking Chopper! It's going to look even better once you get the new tank on. If I had the room in the garage, I'd build one just like yours.
