@retro Cool info, More stuff for me to factor in when going with the wheel size.
@frank thanks!, At the moment I got this beji stuff .. might as well use it. IF there is a next build I want to build a cool icecream truck chaser, My last one (XR50 w/118 stroked) got stolen by some bastards. Nothing like a bunch of kids running to get icecream and a chinese guy BRAaaap'n right past past them.
I actually have a lot of material left from making this tank. I was thinking.. everyone seems to want an oil tank that goes in the triangle like this:
If there's enough interest I'll make a small run of them out of aluminum. (I need something to justify the break press i want to buy haha)
@Jer, that is exactly the stuff I was thinking about. I'll wait to see how much of an issue the heat is going to be. Since there is a gap between the seat and the tank.. plus the tank is aluminum the circulating air might be enough so I don't get baboon ass.
@CB750 Thanks dude, if I have time I was working out a mock-up motor. This stupid thing weighs like 200lbs. Every time I watch my gf heave it into the frame I feel bad, so I think all that can be done with a 5 lb foam block as long as all the points I care about match up.
