Default Power Bar

Any help here would be appreciated. I don't like the gas tank that comes with the kit so I want to use a handle bar mounted tank. Any suggestions?

I do a lot of custom paint on these gaming consoles
So if anyone is interested in having their tanks, fenders,frames & any other parts painted
drop me a line.

You can make a tank out of just about anything with some fittings and a little imagination.

You could check out tanks for GoPeds. They aren't too pretty, but you can get nice covers for them.

jj650

Other companies like ADA Racing sell covers as well.

Might not be what you are looking fore but they are safe and approved for gas use.

I am glad that you decided to place your tank someplace other than the handle bars. It's just my opinion but it seems to me that common sense would tell you that the handlebars are a bad place for a gas tank. Especially a plastic one.

In the event of an accident the tank is compressed between the object you hit and yourself plus the bike. It bursts and you are now covered in gas. One spark and poof.
