Cool looking Rat Rod - Love the rusty fenders and fork.... Nice rear mount on motor for Jesse james Build! Tires work too!
I finally finished my motorized chopperbicycle and i must say i'm quite pleased with the outcome. I bought the motor mounts on line from someone down the US and proceded to mount the motor, it took alot of twigging and modifications because of the frame beying different from regular "V" shaped frames but overall it woked out fine, i even installed brake ligh, turn signals, blininking back light and the latest i added a solar front headlight which i had from the garden and it looks like it was made for the bike it fits so well and now i'm working on a solar pannel charging system to charge up the batteries of the rear lights. I wish i could post a picture to show it off but i don't know how to post it but if anyone is interested i would appreciate telling me how to post a picture will be appreciated. Thanks for all your help.

Josh (mooner), that is the stock west coast bike's tank,,,
it does need to be welded as the seam is only partially welded ...
fill and petcock need to be added as well

looks like i need to hunt around for a west coast chopper tank to weld up now,that would look awesome on the rat bob
you can find these tanks on ebay from time to time. I will ride this thing until fall then pull it down for powder paint i will post more pic of the bike completed. Also the hub adapter i built worked out great.
I'm building one of these any chance of some extra parts laying around I could buyk.hub adapter, motor mounts?
Crazy to bump this old thread but man that came out cool. Still ride it porta? I'm building one with a 79cc predator currently.
