its def been forever since i updated, I am doing the tank completely different, wait to see what i do with that, its be pretty classy.

Decided to do this thin g right and not rush it like i did for the richmond rally last weekend, i had no moped, was really disappointing, oh well.

running all my cable and wires through the frame, hydraulic forks, spoked wheels, bigg ass 3 inch tires so i can handle like a champ. makign an even better custom tail light, and gotta make the treats cdi work, that was the downfall this past weekend, ill get it.

i will post pictures very very soon, i know post without pictures kinda suck, soon!

So ive decided to go a totally different direction with my freespirit after i had to disassemble it because my crank blew up after only a week of riding.

Im going to make the frame a kind of bobber style with a real low seat, sitting right above the rear wheel, flowing lines and making it a top tank, almost a motorcycle approach to the whole thing, but not quite…

The frame is currently at the machine shop, so the metal tubing can be bent for the frame and then welded, i was going to weld them myself, but i dont feel confident enough with my abilities to do these kind of welds. Now i have to find a seat and tank to go on there, the tank seems like it will be more of an issue, i hope i dont have to resort to having one made for me. Checked Ebay and other places, but the smallest i found was a 3 gallon, and that is way too big for a moped. Im going to try and hand stitch and emboss my own leather seat, ive always wanted to try it, so we’ll see hwo it goes..

Heres the sketch i did for the frame, i cant wait to see what happens with it at the shop.
