good looking bike !!!
how did you offset the engine to clear the rear tire ???
also, did you use a sprocket adapter or the 'rag-joint' to clear the rear ???

enquiring minds want to know ;)
 
Made offset plate off of rear motor mount and welded slotted mounts to frame to accommodate different motor's frame mount widths. Thanks guys. Using Pirate adapter.

Its all Venice's fault for building such beautiful bikes. Had to have one!

Thank you, it was a real pain in the a__ but the props made it worth while. Also note the pipe that i cut in half and made about 1 1/2 inches long so that the mounts weren't welded direct to frame.. felt much better to have some good surface area to weld to the frame.

the chain tensioner is still my fav!
 
How did you seal off the ends of the frame for the tank and how much will it take to fill it ?
 
How does it work when you use the tank for gas. Is it all sealed inside? Is it as simple as making a hole and adding a gas cap? What should I know before I do this to mine?

Did you watch the video? It explains the process pretty good. I like the tank sealer. The tank I got off eBay was done with CREEM, it's no good. Very thin, very brittle and is peeling off the inside of the tank. The coating they use in the video is much superior.
