Hello & welcome to my Board Track Racer builds. We cam at this with in 2 diff ways.
One bike is vintage and one bike is new, the reson is I'm very tall and could not fit on a regular
cruiser bike so I purchased a stretched cruiser. The second way is we decided to used the kit gas tanks and build dummy housings for them above the top bar, WHICH ALSO BRINGS you up a bit on the bike. We're planning on riding these so we want to make them practical.

Re: Tanks taking shape

It's just a dummy shell with the stock kit tank inside. That's why it's so big. We designed them
with our skills and resources in mind. Using the stock bicycle frames. If the frame doesn't
have a drop out on the bottom then you can't put the tank below the top bar.

Re: Paint

Yeah, well those are the trade offs, It's not any bigger than the Excelsior Tanks...
at least we will be able to ride them comfortably. I'm 6.4" so we had to modify. The original Board Trackers were very short guys, like Jockey size. If you notice there are very few Board track replicas with people on them cuz they are to small to ride for an average man.

Re: Tanks taking shape

Because we aren't droping the down frame so there isn't enough room
for a tank and a motor. We are using stock cruiser frames. The people building custom Board Track Racers are dropping the down tube of the bike that lets the motor sit lower in the frame allowing room for the tank under the top tube.

Re: Paint

Thos are just dummy covers that house the stock kit tank which is mounted on the top bar. Which also allows for the storage of wires and coil.
