Custom Frame for Board Track Thumper

[Lurker]

Thanks for that link ccc, I wish I knew about that last week. The tank for my v-twin is nearly done, but I will keep that site in mind if I decide to build another bike.

I will be using this in alum...to secure the tank on the bottom. Thanks Andy for the heads up on this... Stepped Blind tank bungs - Bungs

As far as paint this may just stay raw metal with a clear coat, then some pin striping

I am going to swap out a 26 inch wheel and see how it looks vs the 24

No prob Jeff , You should of asked me to make you some they are pretty easy to make .

Aluminum is what I need...thanks

I have completed the welding of the tank, just need to prep it and complete the texture. It turned out nice. Looks like it could fit 3 half gallon jugs of low fat milk in it....

Thanks Headtrama for the guick service on the killer custom bungs...they worked out great and I did not melt the threads...lol

Nice tank Jeff, I don't think the thumper is gonna take a liking to low fat milk however......

 

[cobrafreak]

I too want an engine that runs on milk. Milk is cheaper than gas right now

Sweet looking tank. Great idea

 

[culvercityclassic]

I finished the tank...all detailed and leak checked. No tank liner needed....

Aluminum is so nice to work with....

For a minute I thought it was your mail box. ; ) Great job. Wish I had a tig.

That tank looks great. What size tubing is it ? I checked out McMaster-Carr and thier prices on aluminum boxed tubing scare the $hite out of me.

You need to check with a Steel Supply, or Iron Supply and see what they have it would be probably cheeper

Update 101: I got the wheels that I wanted today..(Big Thanks To Venice Motor Bikes) FELT 26inch with Quick Brick Brown Color Tires...they ROCK...The 26 inch tire in the back looks a lot nicer...

I am just waiting on the Carb & intake manifold and that’s it...should have just rigged up some linkage and used the stock carb for now...

 

[Venice Motor Bikes]

You have no idea how bad I wanted to keep those tires! (They're some of the best looking BTR tires).

Your bike looks great!

Nice job CCC!! I only see one brake on the jackshaft, are you just gonna use only one?

 

[harry76]

Love it!!!!!!! I like it a lot more with the 26"

 

[motorhedfred]

When do we get to hear a vid with that bada$$ pipe barkin' ?

 

[Lurker]

Looking good, The 26" rear made a huge difference for me. I really like how you mounted the tank form underneath, it give it a nice clean look. Have you gotten to ride it yet? I forgot what size engine you used and I'm curious to see how it does. Also in the last photo you posted it looks really long. How long is this bike?
