Exhaust is fitted ,and so is carb intake. gonna pic a fuel tank and air cleaner then fire it up, then tear it down paint. oh yeah key way gonna be tricky, i think there different size but have some ideas for it.

Thanks, got round tank waitn for air filter. Going back n forth with tank location, either behind seat or front of seat. my goal is no clutter above engine, tryn to make it a factory clean look. I was gonna use a weed trimmer tank and mount under seat , im still keepn that idea open. I order 2 styles of air cleaners one chrome metal can style and one uni foam. I should have plenty of extra parts for next project. other future project minis I have are my z50 1979 when i was 7 very clean(thanks dad). articat kitty cat sled one owner super clean, atc 70 1978 mint original owner .Now looking for old rokon 2wd

Here are some more pics. I have very little time lately to work on bike. tank -fuel line -airfilter and with stack. I used an intake strap from auto store fit three inch tank perfect and they are chrome. as far as fuel line i use steel washers and fitted them with rubber gromets to carry fuel line. my goal this week is to find a 8 inch metal bowl to cover clutch , gonna look at kitchen bowls. them paint.

nice, going to kitchen department tommorow to pick up clutch cover, seen some online 8 1/2 round with 1/2 lip on them , perfect for 3 bolts to hold on to, and i hope will give it a factory look.

The mixing bowl ia a great idea if you find the right size. I think the round shape will match up nicely to the round motor profile and polished stainless will look sweet.

Just a suggestion but to be safe Iwould add a support for your intake tube close to the carb, if not it will bounce around and eventually break your welds. Just weld a washer to your frame and one to your intake tube then run a strap between the two and bolt it together so that it has some support.

Look at here for your flat paint......
Hot Rod Flatz
It is a base/clear paint with a flattening agent in the clear with TONs of color options to choose from. I so want to do my Cheeftah with it, that or a nice base paint with some crazy 70's lace pattern all metal flaked out.
