I'm not sure yet. The screen doesn't look right to me how it is at the moment. So I'm going to get the bike finished without it, and then see if I can adapt/ get a new screen to make it look alright. If it looks good then I'll probably put it back on and if not, no real loss because I've already built the bike I wanted.

Thanks!
Here is a 1966 Solex I restored a few years ago. It was made from parts from so many donors I nicknamed it "Frankenstein" So I replaced the neutral shift knob with one I made in Frank's likeness. I think it's the slowest, most dangerous thing I have ridden with a motor and 2 wheels. The throttle is designed to be on full and the front brake lever reduces the throttle and then applies the brake. Dont fall off though - she will run away at full throttle ;D

Very cool indeed!!!
Not sure what would be scarier though... that or the little 1949 Ducati Cucciolo I'm restoring to go on a 1939 Malvern Star frame

I have thought about getting a Tomos Streetmate and turning into something brat-ish for the girlfriend to ride. She used to like riding my Yamaha Jog around. My friend and I had matching purple 1996 Yamaha Jogs. They were pretty rad, 45mph on flat roads. He sold mine to me for $600 but wrecked his which was his only means of transportation. So I sold mine back to him for $600. Then he got a Zuma and decided to sell the Jog because it was single seat. He got $700 for it and then it was back up on CL a few weeks later for $800. I would have bought it back, he gave me the opportunity, but I had other shit going on.
I've also thought about a board tracker using a bike frame and Minarelli engine with Yamaha Jog CVT, or perhaps try to put the same setup in another small bike or moped frame. In CO if it's under 50ccs and doesn't have a manual clutch you don't need an MC license.

So I found this tank on Ebay and I'm definitely wanting to get it.
My bike is all black and I think this tank with the patina would look brilliant. The only thing I would do is get rid of the little rust on the inside and leave it as is.
Thoughts?

I am in Salt Lake City, Utah. Thanks for the offer! Do you have any pictures?
Will go find it and confirm. I know I gave a few of my oddball tanks away a while back but I think that one is still in my rafters. I'm in Canada, so you might be better off buying a cheap one on eBay and having it shipped within the US. Shipping the tank from here is likely to run $40 easy. But will go find it.

The one on Ebay is going to be $40+ with $18 shipping. So I'll probably still be interested. Thanks for the help!

Here's the other way that I'll do the tank I have now.
Looking at pinstriping with the 1960's Kawasaki logo.
