Well eBay ..I did not know OldMiniBikes carried this..I was already in long weeks escalation when Hent told me they had.this ..if I would have got refund I would have got at OldMiniBikes..i think this would look good on a Baja mmb200..or Warrior replacing fake tank ..it comes in black and red also

Making a bracket under to meet front mounts ..tank will rest on top..rear is just a big tab with a hole..seat will be raised a little more sheet metal plate under .possibly 3" chrome springs under back..leaving frame black with chrome fenders ...may find few more areas to add chrome..I'm happy : ) I paid almost as much for tank as bike $150 bike $115 tank lol..price payed for style..high quality tank ..black or red ones $80

Looks good, man. The metal fenders look a lot better than the cheesy plastic ones. It also looks like you removed the welded on sheetmetal side plates on the frame. All in all, the fenders and tank add more of a quality appearance to the bike. :thumbsup:

thanks guys..I wanted something different style..... the briggs runs great..amazing for a 14 year old neglected pressure washer motor.it will end its life with some dignity..haha ..sounds good..if rolling fast and give it full throttle goes ba-baaaaa ..little hesitate,I like that ..remember that sound somewhere ..I really should learn and check valve lash..it sounds ok in there..still...oh and think upgrade brakes

Nice work Raskin! How did the carb clear the rear frame? I have a Honda clone and even with the front drain plug ground down it still hits the frame.
