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.

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.
