Boardtracker fuel tank

gsreeves · #1 (**permalink**) 08-21-2009, 06:58 PM

So here I am newly interested in building a boardtracker replica. I have been seeing some parts here and there but have not seen a source for a really good looking fuel tank. Any help would be appreciated. I did try a search here in the forum but didnt find anything. Below are a couple of examples of what I am most interested in.

You aren't going to find a source for those tanks. People on here mostly make there own tanks when looking for something so specific. If its not custom then its a tank from some other type of vehicle: moped, mower, motorcycle, etc....hope that helps.

At this point I am trying to source all the parts, I am very interested in this project though. Can you provide a link to a website where I can see some pics and get an idea on your prices for steel and fiberglass tanks?

Thank you for the input. I am so new to this that all input was a value.

it depends on the bike and the finish detail your looking for. let me know what bike you have and ill work up a quote. we can build a comeplet frame kit if you like or a hole bike - motor

The style i'm looking for is in the pics i posted in the original post. So far it looks like i will be using the worksman industrial newspaber boy frame.

Thank you so much. I am looking forward to taking this on. I will catch up with you when we are closer to start gathering parts. Any idea on a price for the vtwin motor as of yet?

That is some good looking work. Did you change the clutch to use other springs, or did you beef it up with more springs? Makes it look early with the clutch out in the wind. I like the fork brace, gives it an early look also. Have fun, Dave
