New here and hope someone can help. I've a 1967 Taco 22 frame and would like to put a 212 on it. After checking one out at my local Harbor Freight I see that it would be a few inches too high as the fuel tank, exhaust and air filter would not clear my bars. Is there an easy fix for this (instead of down sizing to a 79) and is there a kit available?
You will need something like this but you need to determine if you have a hemi or non hemi first (you will find this out after you buy it).

plus a drain outlet with some type of straps to mount the tank on top or below the bars and some fuel line

If your looking to keep it "year correct" I just a got an actual 1967 date coded 3hp in that I will probably sell just as is since its decent looking and runs good instead of restoring. I popped the bike off the crate its been bolted to for at least 10 years and have been tooling around on it a little before I start pulling it completely apart. Just put gas and oil in it and removed the rotting air filter element and it fired right up fresh off the crate.
I have a pair of 1968 date coded 3hp's, the one came off a taco, that most likely wont use as well. they are both in stages of teardown/restoration right now though, and I am really dragging my feet on them :doah:
