Default Phillips 28'' build

I recently bought two old 28 inch frames with the intention of overhauling the running gear and getting them going then eventually motorise them. One of the bikes is a Phillips and the other is a Triumph but they are virtualy identical. The bike showen in the pictures is the Triumph, ive only placed the tank and motor on for a simple mock up. What do you think of the tank i made it from some left over copper pipe from work. Im yet to make mounts and a gas cap for it, but thats where some brass plumbing fittings will come in handy. The plan is to polish the copper tank then give it a clear coat it would be a shame to cover it up. I have currently got the phillips frame fully striped down for painting. I havent sourced a 28 inch springer fork yet so i might get one made. Also does anyone one know of an internal throttle that fits the diameter of bicycle handle bars ?

I'd be tempted to tape off the phillips logo on your tank , paint the tank then peel the taped letters so the copper would show through where the letters were

Was tosing up that idea, good to see that you think the same.
