6.5 baja heat minibob "black betty"
got the tank, petcock, and cap from ebay. for all 3 it was $97.34 shipped
-the petcock was $14.68 shipped described as "CHROME GAS FUEL TANK PETCOCK 3/8 NPT FOR HARLEY 55-74" from ebay user "sampowersports1"
-the cap was $9.65 shipped described as "VENTED CHROME 36-72 STYLE GAS CAP fits HARLEY FL FX XL 36-E82" from ebay user "endofthelines"
-the tank was $73.01 shipped described as "Peanut Gas Tank Harley Sportster 1955-1978 Bobber Custom Chopper Sporty Raw" from ebay user "stevenrullo"
i didnt have any problems with any ebay buys, shipping was always fast and packed nice, based on my experience of each purchase above, all users were great to deal with and i recommend them.
a little expensive but i like the looks of it, and its 2.4 gallons so i can ride forever.:thumbsup:
im pretty sure it would be similar, i dont know much about dirtbikes but i think thats the newer version of what i put on mine....if you're getting the frame too that would be better as i had to do a lot of cutting grinding and bearing foolery to make it work in the stock baja "neck tube". with the kx80 frame you can cut off that neck tube, then swap it in place of the stock baja one (and maybe rake the front end out some in the process if you wanted), that way the bearings are all the same and in their designed tube. it will also let you use the stock front tire, brakes, controls etc...if i had the choice of a local parts bike i would've gone that route. keep in mind i did cut a few inches out of the springs in the forks to get the ride height i was looking for, if you choose to rake the front out, the longer forks will work well and you wont have to cut the springs.
good luck and i look forward to seeing what you come up with, things i should've thought about and wish i did
what did you use for a speedo on war pony?

The speedo is a digital one with a chrome housing
and magnetic pick up. I'm at work so don't have the
info. I have not had a chance to ride it due to weather.
About $50 from amazon. I'll get back to you.
Pick up a 86 Kx 80. Looks like it will be a good fit for a BB.
What is the front rim size and tire size? This has a nice dice brakes
with great stopping power. Think I will use KX steering
bearingand weld the warrior frame to it. Will start a log when I have all partsin a pile.

i wont say its finished because there is more i want to do to it, but its being ridden fairly often. its been flipped back a few times by friends not heeding my warning to watch out when the TAV kicks in. i picked up an old mini that i've been slowly rebuilding, so the very little free time i do have has gone to that since black betty is ridable
