It seem's to me that there are alot of people building their versions of boatdtracker bikes! Let's see if we can get them all on 1 thread. This is my take on a 1920's boardtracker ! It's not exact , But it is fun! Let's see more boardtrackers, THANKS...GERRY D. FLAT BLACK KUSTOMS.

This is my 1940 MARSHALL-WELL'S "ZENITH" with SCHWINN BLADE FORK with stabilizer strut's.

My handlebars are upright and the baskets and lights make it more of a commuter than a racer,but It kind of has the style, and if you want to race I will accept your challenge (32 T sprocket)

How does that 32 work? Is it snappy? Im runnin' stock 44, mine is quick! Do you suggest a 32 or 36?

Can you post a photo of a close up on your top tube/tank? Look's good! Oh ya, Let's race!

Here is a picture that shows how I made the tank.
I don't have a good pic right now of the top tube, but I made it out of two BMX forks, so the bottom of the tank sits down in it hiding the seam and the stopcock.
I like the 32 tooth for smooth vibration free speed. It cruises around 35 mph without winding out the engine. It requires some pedaling to start and on hills. I have not tried a 36T but I think it would be a good choise as well. It would require a bit less pedaling on hills, and since my motor does not have enough power to rap out, the 36 would probably go just as fast. I went with this 32 because I got it for free off of a childs bike I found in someones trash.

COOL ! How big is that tank? You should look at my "80cc 1940 ZENITH" post
that is how my bike is set up now!

What kind of motor are you running on the red bike? GERRY D. FBK.

thanks so much. the red bike has a grubee starfire gt-4 66cc. i have to say it is far superior to any other engine i have bought. the parts in the kit were nicer and this thing hauls ace compared to the others.
