got some, not exactly but pretty close, they need modifcation work so they sit right just like this tank of mine
I have to admit it, Carlos raised the bar on this one.
He kept telling us how he was doing up this part and that part, '...you gotta see the sproket', '..ah man, wait 'till you see the motor mount', etc. I kept telling him just get it on the road so we can go for a ride, but he wouldn't let anyone rush him, he kept saying it was all about the build, no need to rush it.
Then when he finally rolls it out I was very surprised by the attention to detail and the direction he took the build. It made me wish I had spent a little more time on the details on my bike. Very nice job on this one, the pictures really don't tell the whole story.
We all started our builds around the same time and everyone ended up in a different direction and thats what makes this such a cool hobby.
Can't wait until we can all take an extended ride...

Tough lookin bike you got there.
Good proportions.
How do you keep that thing so clean?
Mine was like a greased pig right after the startup,
leaves little oil spots everywhere!!
Especially on off-white carpet!

Hello Diegom,
handlebars were made from two normal handlebars to look like the old idian bikes.
Sportscarpat made me the custom fitting to finish the look

it came from a General 5 star moped. It had to be cut on the bottom to set it well but the rest is all stock.
Those look like chrome shaft collars. We are using them on our motor mount for my son's bike. Now are they welded or screwed together?
Here's where I got mine:
