Hello from Rochester NY

Here's my bike...Project Incognito...1996 Raliegh M-80 with a Grubee Skyhawk 66cc. Gas tank is off of a weedwacker and side covers are self-made of .063" Aluminum (5052-H32). The side covers cut the engine noise down a bit. I am currently working on a hidden gas tank in the tubing of a rear rack. I found a rear rack attaching to the seat post from Walmart for $16.99 and I'm going to modify it to hold gas (i figure I'll get around 10 miles worth of gas out of this size container).

Hi Paul, I have give that exact mod a thought (being in NY)- well done.
I guess I would like to see a fake luggage type material on the side. And make it real quiet. Let us know how it goes. Pretty cold though for the next 3 1/2 months.
I have seen a flat tank that is rear mounted. don't remember which vendor though.
 
Thanks all for the welcome. Just drove in this morning with a blinding snow storm, and now I kinda wish I had brought my bike with me today. We have a huge parking lot and I'd like to see how this thing moves thru snow...going to look up studded bike tires right now...catch you all later.
