Question Orientation Question

Does it make a difference, regarding the forward
angle of these engines? I'm thinking of going to
a woman's bike due to the fact that 1. I like the
looks of a more exposed engine and 2. The tank
will be further cantilevered rearward which (hopefully)
will solve the fuel flow from the left side at low level
& It'll stop the leaky cap problem that seems to occur
when these tanks are full.

As far as I know,you can mount the thing upside down,as long as the carb is upright and level.

THANKS ALL!
I've been finding LOTS of super nice classic ladies cruisers
around here for pennies on the dollar! (Detoilet / Murder City)
No; I don't live there. (WAY North) I'll post pics of what I
come up with.

I think a girls frame might be less sturdy than a regular frame.
Have you ever seen a old girls Sting Ray that some kid was using for jumping? Where the two front tubes are almost touching from the frame bending!

Hey VENICE BOY!
Like my moniker says; I am a Crazy Ol' Fart, but, I'm not that crazy.
I really doubt I'll be doing any jumping with it. I really just use these
as a more entertaining form of transportation and something to fill my
time with something more productive than emptying cans of Budweiser.
I DO, on occasion "open them up", but, usually just putter along, soaking
up sunshine & fresh air. Thanks much, though, for the "heads up".

Rob
