Seat (alpha)

Bought some nice wood for my seat, this is the alpha build of it. :)
I'm going to cut,shape, and stain it.

Custom Gas Tank Mount

To begin, Bill and I had to ponder the millions of ways we could possibly mount this tank on to the frame. After hours of major brainstorming this is what we came up with.

How She Sits Now

The tank and brackets will be painted black before final assembly. 

A little Progress (intake/carb installed)

Well I finally got around to working on the moped again, not much but i have moved it right next to my TV hoping to motivate me to get this damn thing finished. Today I went to Home Depot and bought a dishwasher hose and a clamp, cut the hose to size and mounted the carb.

Up next find a damn bolt that will fit the muffler. I thought it was a m6 but it they only seem to screw in a few threads. This is how it sits now.
