If you are lucky you might find a 5" dia. X 24" AF oxy cylinder. Some were plain but others were banded. Strongly resembles a 1911 Cleveland.,(I think that is the one)
Last night I finished the tank and put patina on both the tank and frame .
Today I made a truss set to go with the forks . I don't think this bike came with them but I like the look.

Just an update pic. I can't decide whether to run fenders or not. Opinions welcome.
Also I found a new type of 2 stroke kit that I'll be testing on this build. Hear is the thread on that.

I think a shorty fender would look good, just enough to keep the crap off your back. You've been turning out some nice bikes.
Thanks Chain. I can't decide what I like more. Building them, or riding them.
I decided to just build bikes to look the way I want them to. I'm not going to try to build them to compete with guys on craigslist anymore. I've just ben chaining them in front of my house with a for sale sign on them. I only make 1 to 2 hundred off a bike then I just role it into the next bike. I would like to build more 4 stroke bikes ,but no one wants to pay that kind of money so I stick to the better quality 2 stroke kits. My 66cc2 stroke has the same power as my 79cc predator, that I rejected and built a free flowing pipe for.

Very Nice! looking Exhaust it should give you the best of both fields performance and noise reduction, have you ported the engine exhaust and intake yet ? I think a Fred Head would do wonders fer ya too.
I second the fenders even if only a half rear.

Almost finished. The bike has new Walld fenders, worksman wheels,sportsman flyer 40 tooth sprocket.
I think I'm going to change out the bars for a prewar set I have, and make a drop stand.
