Paint? maybe later. Some flat black to stealth it out a little.
I like the old worn and rusty look in things, so well see.

The bike is running great. I m breaking it in.
The tank I got off ebay.
Manic Mechanic hub adapter with the 40T sprocket.
I decided to ditch the chain tensioner after all the horror stories I read about. I ran a half link on the pedal side to help with the slack. I do pedal with it so as both chains strech Ill just pull the wheel further back.
loctite on the bolts that can come loose.
got the grips off ebay.
bike was originally blue but i stripped the paint with airplane remover.
Ill post more pics of the build.

Nice work so far! The rear tank worked out great and it looks like you have a hub adapter too which was a good move!
 
@biknut The gas tank is plastic. I got outbid on the metal one I wanted so this was my second choice. I m glad I got this one tho, It came with the brackets and it was in great condition.
I added some sticky thick foam insulation on the parts that come in contact with the frame to protect it from the vibrations. Now I don t have to worry about it cracking when I hit bumps or due to vibration. Its pretty thick and sturdy, but the few bucks and minutes that it took to install the foam can save me headaches later.
