Tank
This factor is really holding up the build cosmetically. I can’t seem to find on I like. I have a general tank. I can get a magnum tank, but I dont want this to have a typical moped look. I have been searching ebay for something, maybe off a small motorcycle, but I haven’t had any luck.
I cant really do anything to the bike, until I figure this out. Once I find a tank I like, I can weld the cross bar, build the seat, and get it painted up.
If you didn’t realize yet, I am building the rigid freespirit into a top tank. PT style. Don’t worry. I got Pat’s permission already. This is another reason I dont want to use the magnum tank (the best looking option so far). It would be way too close to the same thing he did.
I will continue searching….
Oh, and here is a picture of the bike itself for those who asked.
No, I will not be keeping it completely rigid. I have some ebr’s that I will throw on there. I am a bit worried that all the chrome of the ebr’s will throw off the look of the bike. We’ll see.
That’s all for now. Off to Choke today to drop the cases off with the Guru.
use the stock gas tank as the top tank. that might look sick. different that’s for sure. cool blog. can’t wait to see the out come of this rare gem.

the stock tank would look gross.
what about a cobra tank? rigid cobra for tommy?
Agreed. It’s too small and would create terrible lines. I thought about a cobra tank. Bit harder to find, and still doesnt create the look I am going for. I want something long and slim. Like a 60’s 50cc gp racer. Magnum tank is the best looking option so far.
Might I suggest a Magnum X tank? I think they have some sweet lines.
