War Paint BSR

[WarPaint]

OK here is what i have done. I took it to work last week and it was a blast. My Boss wanted it . But he just had 500.00 cash. But i couldn't belive how fast it was. I still got some things to do to it and paint it but I just had to ride it.

thanks to Bar Fly Racers and mbean for all the help.

[WarPaint]

another

[WarPaint]

and one more

[Mike Bean]

Hey Warpaint!

Congrats on getting it done! Are you using the electric start now?

When you going to paint it?

Send us some mpegs of you riding a wheelie..

mbean

[WarPaint]

Hey mbean.

Oh yes I'm going to put a candy apple red old style paint on it. 1st silver and then metal flake transparent red. Then I'm going to put a web theme on it. All custom by me. And i still have to do the wheelie bar. And put the new bar stool on it. I got a custom tag that reads LAST CALL for the back. And yes on the electric start . I have already got people asking me to display it when I'm done in fount of there store. And now I'm sure I will have to build one for my boss. Not bad for my first welding job. Thanks .

[motorman100]

very cool, looks like you and me are riding the same engines, have you burned some rubber yet, i know i have:D. looks fun.
ill probably get a video of mine soon once i recive my under-steering wheel throttle/brake.

btw- how do you go about making a wheelie bar?

[WarPaint]

Hey there motorman. I have a question. How did you hook up your throttle on your motor. I would love to see a pic of what you have done. This is how i did it.

[motorman100]

cant really tell from the pic how you did it, but i did similar, as long as you have a good reset spring and free spining pivot, that will be great

[WarPaint]

Well here it is with paint.

[WarPaint]

I know it looks black but in the sun it has a blue tint to it.
I still have to put some Diamond plate aluminum around the stool and maybe a wing.

[sniffles]

looks good but how come you didnt use a retro chrome barstool? just curious

[WarPaint]

looks good but how come you didnt use a retro chrome barstool? just curious


I used a old barstool to mock it upwith. Then when it came time to get the new barstool , I could not find one that would fit. If it did fit the motor didn't.
So i had to make one. I'm still looking for one but this will have to work till I find one.

Nice Job Man! will it do a wheelie? let us know! :lush:

[WarPaint]

Yep it does a wheel stand. That was the first time it tossed me off the back.
I still have the scars. I'm a big guy and others see me riding it and then when they get on , It scares them. They don't think of the weight change. The guy next door raced his son on his little crotch rocket tonight down our street. I put those wheel lights on it so it glows at night. Kinda cool.
I plan on putting a bat box on it so I can use the electric start ,but I'm just having to much fun right now. Like I said no one around here have seen a BSR.
So it has made me the cool guy in our area. I plan on riding it in the toys for tots run this year.

I would like to say thanks to mike and all of the great guys here that have helped me make this. I'm a graphic artist that picked up a welder for the first time last year. And I have never had a go kart or anything like one before. Before this forum I didn't even know what a spindle or tie rod was. I started late in life but hey better late than never.
Thank you.

[sweav]

Hey warpaint, looks awsome, hope mine turns out that good. Maybe I can get to actualy start building mine if I stop changing my mind all the time. What size tires did you use and how does it steer using the wider front tires?

[Redrooster]

Hey WarPaint.... I like it... I like it... Great job... Awsome... I think the stool you have looks just fine. :wave:

[WarPaint]

Thanks. I think it will do for now. man This thing is so much fun. And the girls like the purple color. Got to do it for the babes. maybe i can get a pic or two of them on it. I also moved the back wheels in a little. I think they were a little to wide to make a turn. It is already had to turn this thing.

[Mike Bean]

Hey Warpaint,

Can you get us some video of you riding it? Maybe even a wheelie, but don't fall off this time... :D

Mike

[sniffles]

hey warpaint, i wasnt criticizing you i was just wondering. i like your new stool a lot better than the older one. good job.

[WarPaint]

hey warpaint, i wasnt criticizing you i was just wondering. i like your new stool a lot better than the older one. good job.


That never enter my head. But hey thanks . I still got to put on the flash parts now. I'm thinking of making me a spider web battery box. and a wing for the back.

[moto1fast]

Great Job!!!! Looks like a real cool ride, Get some pictures of the ladies sworming it! lol. I like the color and the way you did the engine in another color than red and white! Maybe put a chrome exhaust on it! But it looks great as it is! :hot:

Ok I put this on for now but i think i like it. now i need to find a air filter.
still working on a wing. the cool thing is this was free.

[WarPaint]

just another pic

[sniffles]

hey warpaint what type of brakes are you using?

[WarPaint]

hey warpaint what type of brakes are you using?


It is a mechanical Carlisle caliper with a floating mount. it works great. I have almost sent myself over the front a few times.

[moto1fast]

LOOKING GOOD!! Its nice to get things for free especially when they go great with what you have! Nice! What did it come off of? Did you have to modify it to fit? I have the same engine! Looked around for a muffler and found one but will have to build a mounting flange on it to fit! I am building a air filter manifold so I can use a K&N air filter on it! Keep up the good work! :hot:

Keep up the good work! :hot:


it came off a gas scooter. The only thing i had to do is use the Mounting flange off the muffler on my BSR motor. The one on the scooter didn't have a flange. It just slid into the engine. Kinda strange. So i just cut the flange off the muffler on my BSR and weld it to the new one. I did have to grind it to a angel to clear my barstool leg and to line up with the engine. The bracket is a pice of tubing i cut and mounted to the motor and muffler. had it done it around 30 mins. Easy fun and free. Hey i would love to see your plans on the filter manifold. I seen one on e bay for 60.00 but I get to much of a kick telling others "no i didn't buy it. I made it " Hey love the Duall wheel bsr.
Keep posting.

[moto1fast]

Hello, I got my exhaust off the same thing a small gas mini chopper dual mufflers. See photo! Ill be working on the air filter setup today and post pictures of it this afternoon! By the way the muffler I got was free to!! LOL :hot:

[WarPaint]

Hey those look great. And you can't beat the price. I got some stainless steel sheets that i'm thinking of making my wing for the back out of. I may work on that today. and i know i need a wheelie bar but i just keep puting it off. Yep post pics when you get them and keep up the great work.

[sniffles]

hey whats the wing gonna look like? kinda like rubicons?

[WarPaint]

hey whats the wing gonna look like? kinda like rubicons?


I like rubicons but i have a few others that i may try to work together.
But I will bolt it on like rubicons has.

[Prowrench22]

War Paint what width is your rear axle?

I'm going to build my frame soon and thinking about a 2 seater and I like the wider more stable look 10" wide wheels for sure, longer wheel base will keep the wheelies down.

Thanks Rich D

Thanks Rich D

My axle is 31" long. I like the wide wheels. But I found out that the wider the wheels and the farther they are from the frame. The harder it is to turn. I moved mine in to match the front wheels now. I can turn better but I still have to gas it to spin the rear wheels around. But that is just fun to do.

[sniffles]

what i would do is get a 36" axle chop it down to 34" and see how that works

[moto1fast]

Hello, Here is my air filter assy., I created using a Intake from a atc 110 honda three wheeler and A Chevy Valve cover breather. It unscrews so it can be cleaned! It uses foam filter disks! Pretty cool huh! I like the flames on it! It is also billet Aluminum! :hot:

Man that looks great. Where did you find that valve cover bresther. I do love the flames. I will have to check out our auto parts store.

[moto1fast]

Hello, I found it on Ebay! They have all kinds but this one is the only one I have found that the top screws off and you can clean or change the foam filters. Here is another picture of it taken apart! :wave:

[WarPaint]

I just spent all day today rebuilding the steering and gas and break throttle . My wife's sisters best friends son thought because he could ride a 4 wheeler and drive a sand buggy he could drive my BSR. But i said NO! So when I was gone he took it down the street and ran it into a light pole. He is ok but the BSR needed a a lot of help. I got everything done but need to buy some new tie rods.
I should have taken some pic's but I was too mad. it was like the ER at a hospital. I got it in the garage and started cutting and welding in less than 15 min. I should have pics of all the changes sometime this week.

[Mike Bean]

Sorry to hear that Warpaint. If I were you I would add a key switch on the engine shroud so he can not start or hot wire it next time.

Atleast you're getting it back together! Grab some brews :drinkup: and fire up the welder and get it running again.

I have often thought about a key switch on mine for when I am at the race rack and I use a restroom. I fear it might be gone when I get out...

Anyways good luck on the repair and did you ask him why he was not able to avoid a light pole? I mean come on, I would have expected something larger..

Mike Bean

[sniffles]

how bad is the damage. how old was the kid? you should run him over with your fixed barstool racer...haha...sorry to hear about that.

[Redrooster]

Hey warpaint sorry to here about your bsr getting wrecked, that really sucks especially after you just finished painting it. It looks so sweet.... hope you can get it back on the road soon....

[WarPaint]

Hey warpaint sorry to here about your bsr getting wrecked, that really sucks especially after you just finished painting it. It looks so sweet.... hope you can get it back on the road soon....


Hey thanks. I did a test run tonight. It is back up and faster. I don't know if it is the new exhaust or the new air intake or just me. But it feels like it has better tork and is faster. Most likely just me. I will post pics tomorrow. To dark tonight.

[WarPaint]

Here it is. I remade the steering handles for the fuel and brake. Put the key up on the side of the stool. Had to make some foot rest out of .5 diamond plate to hide the weld's from the repair, But I think it looks ok. Put the new muffler and air filter on. Next will be the wing and battery.

[WarPaint]

more pics of my BSR.

[sniffles]

looks pretty good. sucks he broke your battery

[moto1fast]

Hello, Looks Good!! Glad to see its back up going again. I like the air filter set up, The wing is realy going to make it sharper. You got one bad ride there!! Nice!!! I am going to work on mine today and will post pictures of it. I also just bought a NOS system to put on it. :hot:

[WarPaint]

Man ! we got some snow here this week. Some of the kids on my block were pulling each other on somekind of mats made to slide on snow. Yes i took my BSR out on the snow. Was hard to get it going at first with the slicks but when I did. Man! This thing is so much fun on ice and snow. I took some of my sons track tape he has for his skate boards and put it on the tires. before long we had a snow party going on. One guy got out his grill and was cooking burgers and hot dogs. Plus we used it to warm up. It was a blast. Hope it snows again soon.

[Mike Bean]

Ok, come on now and post some photos of you riding your BSR in the snow, or at least someone riding it in the snow.

I live in Florida and moved here from Minnesota, my only wish is to ride my BSR across a lake in the winter...

Mike

[WarPaint]

Took some pics today of riding my BSR in the snow. most of it is gone but we found some streets with alot on them. can't tell from the pics but we did some burnouts and donuts. Mike you have got to do this.

[WarPaint]

Hey got my Diamond plate aluminum in today for my stool. I wanted to put it around the bottom to hide some of the welds. The weather is still in the 60's and 70's so i can still get some riding time in.

[Canadiankid]

Your stool is great. Any chance on getting more info on that pipe. That is the best looking exaust I have seen yet. This is just a guess but it's quiet enough not to pi$$ off the old lady next door. One more question but does it get up and go fast enough for you with the centrifuge clutch. At 260lbs I'm not sure my clutch choice was the right one. But as soon as my fellow e-bayer gets my tires to me I guess I will find out.

Thanks. i got the exaust off a schooter that my boss gave me. it fell off his truck and was ruined. So i cut the exaust off and put it on mine. Yep i really don't know what kind of clutch i have but it pulls my lard ass around great.

[Canadiankid]

Gotta hand it to you man. You supply the sweetest art work with your posts. Keep up the good work.

[altrego30]

Yeah I agree, my wife looked over my sholder and asked one of those chick questions that you cant answer, " Do you like that picture?"
Not sure how to answer that one without getting the look and the silent treatment. HELP........

[Canadiankid]

Sorry man you are on your own. Unless you can play the "I don't know why those other guys must post stuff like that" card and then change the subject. LOL

Just kidding war paint don't stop

[Guy]

I wish!!!!
I would like to get her into stuff like that, But if it aint victoria secret, she would know I was full of it.

[WarPaint]

Sorry guys if i get you into hot water. Just tell them you are reading the articles.

[Canadiankid]

[Mike Bean]

I just have to know the story behind the behinds...

Were do you get the models for the clothing?

You continue to amaze me and I am sure others with the new photos. You are truly a BSR Apparel Pimp.
:laughing:

[altrego30]

:dizzy: Yeah, UMMMM, WOW.....Drewling...........:thumb:

[Canadiankid]

If these are examples of your co-workers or customers.....um.....were would a guy fax a resume. LOL

[WarPaint]

Oh if i had to work with them. I don't think i could keep my mind on the work.
You guys need to post pics of your ladies with your BSR.
I will be posting some just as soon as i can find the time to do a little more work on my BSR.

http://i1.tinypic.com/mjxo9l.jpg

[altrego30]

Im guessing its a hairless beaver. That Photo makes me dizzy:dizzy:
Luckily, the wife is watchin a movie, and not me.:thumb:

[WarPaint]

Hey i found a video of when i got my BSR done and took it to work. Right Done. I don't think we are ever done. I looked at it and man did i make some
Changes. anyway here it is if anyone wants to see it. OH yea it didn't take the guy in red long to look at the brake disk. LOL
http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=msnihy

[WarPaint]

Here is a photo of my BSR today. I still have a lot i want to do to it .
But I just need to find the time. We have had a light winter here in oklahoma.
And I was counting on snow days to do some work.

[Redrooster]

Great pictures of your bsr Warpaint.... I like the diamond plate around the seat.... you have done a fantastic job......where can I get a exhaust like that?

[Canadiankid]

Have to agree with red, great BSR warpaint, good sized picture, looks awsome

[Voodoo Barstool Racers]

Hey! warpaint,did you make that exhaust or where did you get it? Voodoo barstool racers:cheers:

[altrego30]

Where can I find an exhaust like that, its too sweet?

[WarPaint]

I got the muffler off a scooter that my boss gave me. It fell off his truck on the way to a race. Not much left of it but he knows I like to cut stuff up.
The elbow is off the handlebars of a bike I had. And the bar for the support is the tube that is between the handlebars with the foam pad on it. I just cut and welded it all up to fit.
See pic
Thanks.



http://tinypic.com/mug7rb.jpg

[Canadiankid]

I found "pocket bike exhaust" on e-bay that I am sure I will be able to modify to work. Pretty cheap to.

[altrego30]

I think I will look on ebay then, see what I can come up with, that looks so sweet. If I get it in, it will be colecting dust for a little bit till I get back from sea.

[Canadiankid]

It sucks having to leave a project behind when you go to work doesn't it. My job isn't as noble as yours but I work 3 and 2 (weeks) all year round and the only thing I miss more than my toys is my wife and 2 sons.

Back to the pipe, I was thinking I will go a pocket bike place (next time I'm home) and see if they have a pipe they have taken off a bike to replace with a high perf pipe. Just a thought.

[altrego30]

I have Been searching ebay and the net, I cant seem to find anything like that, what do I search under?

[Canadiankid]

I use "pocket bike exhaust" and ussually get 15 or 20 pipes for sale on e-bay. We should probably start a new thread for this. There are a couple of buy it now pipes that are less than $20

Thanks, I found some that should be cool. I guess I will see if they show up befor I ship out.

[moto1fast]

Hello, Here is the pipe I got off a pocket bike I am putting on my bsr!

[Canadiankid]

You should rig up one of those flame thrower exhaust kits to go with the purge set up.

[RUBICON]

well....I have missed this thread for a while...but couldn't pass without saying how great Warpaints stool worked out.....the creative use of parts is cool...I do that to....I hear your coments on the reluctance to steer...but the major wide front tires are way cool to look at....I looked at flame thrower for mine...since I have a fuel pump for the wet nitrous I thought I could valve it to the Muzzy headpipe and with a dry jet spray it when the ignitor is on...I built one in 1965 for a 55 Ford....cruiser skirts..checker back spinners...lake pipes....used a model T coil ( wood box with a vibrator armature that made a constant spark ) and a spark plug in the lake pipes.....rev it good...pull the choke...hit the switch....stand back.....flames 6 ft long..sideways out the sidepipes...cool stuff before neon and bling....
PS: try a small ( not too small ) motorcycle battery for the BSR...fits nice in the rear...will your mag charge it?...some do

[WarPaint]

Thank you Rubicon, I think your BSR is by far one of the best here. I hope you are passing on your talent. It would be a shame to let it fade away. I love working with my hands and this is a new found love for me. I find myself thinking of what I could build next instead of my work. I found this late in life but I found it. I was told that my dad was great at building stuff but he died before it was passed to me. Most kids today can't tell you the name of the tool's we use everyday. My stepsons and my wife feel why build it if you can buy it. My 9 year old girl and me don't feel that way. She spends most of her time in the garage with me. Anyway yep I will look into a battery for it soon.
And I'm told my mag will charge it. Then I got some LED to put on it.
I don't think this will ever end.

[RUBICON]

I have one son in law that must be a LOVER....I have not seen anything else that he can do..or will do....he is the laziest one human I have ever known...the other is in the Navy...his way of financing his education...he works his butt off..and is interested in learning everything....every minute we are together I download...all i can...as fast as i can....there wont be enough time...but I will keep it up til I am gone....as I said in a longer message some time ago...my dad could fabricate ANYTHING....go to the National Air and Space Museum....his actual work is there...and one piece is still on the moon...the rest burned up upon re-entry....I have a piece...a real piece of the lunar lander...a small one...a treasure...handed to my dad...brought all the way back.....I can never be that good....but I can try my best....and pass it on.....if not the skill...at least the desire...thats what really counts....the desire....thanks guys.....THANKS DAD!

[altrego30]

I have one son in law that must be a LOVER....I have not seen anything else that he can do..or will do....he is the laziest one human I have ever known...the other is in the Navy...

Hey Rubicon, Im in the Navy also, where is your son stationed? and whats his rate (MOS)?

[WarPaint]

Hey guys long time no see. I have been so busy with printing. It is that time of year. But i did finsh my wing. Give me some input . I know I know now i have to move the exhaust.

[Woodchuckscustoms.com]

Looks good War!!! Move the muffler under the tail wing. Where did you get the wing? Looks good Brother:thumb:

[WarPaint]

Thanks wood. I made it. I can't weld aluminum so i had to use L brackets. But it kinda look cool. But yes it is my own design.

[RUBICON]

MAJOR COOL WING...especially like the way you radiused around the tire..and the 2 tier design.....

[Mike Bean]

Nice Wing Warpaint!

Very nice work for your first... Maybe you should sell some on eBay?

Mike Bean

[1100kaw]

War
not nice, WAY NICE!, I have been racking my mind trying to come up with a neet way to hide the ugly of the rear axle and you nailed it.
Very nice
If the L brackets are bugging you, now that you have it fab ed, and fitted, just take it to a local weld shop, they could tig it, then you could just buff up the welds.
I bet if you show some pics of what it is for, they would love to do it and prob for a deal just cause these things are cool.
In my research and work on mine I always mention it, and half the time shops just give me the small stuff just to see me get it done. I've gotten fittings,hardware,handlebars etc... You know, junk in someone elses way but ness for the build.
Anyway, very nice job on yours
DD

[sweav]

Looks way cool warpaint. Gives me some ideas for mine.

[WarPaint]

Thanks guys you know how to make a brother feel good.

[Redrooster]

Hey WarPaint.... Awesome BSR..... I really like the look with the wing..... man every time you add something new it keeps looking better and better..... Great job bsr brother........

[Chevy2ride]

Looking good warpaint! Hope to do mine soon. Hard to get stuff her in Hawaii but I'll get it done soon. Want to cruise down Waikiki during the summer and check out the ladies. Maybe let them ride my _tool. Want to see more pics as u add on stuff. Keep up the awesome work.

[WarPaint]

Hey chevy Thanks. You will have to post photos of the girls wearing a BSR shirt sitting on your BSR. Now that would make me build it fast.
Yep that would do it. I think my next thing is the battery for the electric start. And that will lead to lights. Man just when you think your done.

[xtman]

Hey war paint awesome build! I had a quck question, on your throttle and brake what is that black thing holding them up? They cross eachother. Iv seen some people with them but i dont know what it is?

[Guy]

I got the muffler off a scooter that my boss gave me. It fell off his truck on the way to a race. Not much left of it but he knows I like to cut stuff up.

Ok, LOL, "Fell off the truck".... I think we all know what that means... :me:
very nice ride warpaint.

[WarPaint]

Ok here are some not so good video of my new BSR. I changed the frame and put a TAV2 On it. Got a real bar stool on this one. Now that it runs I have to tear it down and get it ready for paint. Going to go with a skull them. I found a skull head light for the front. Oh and the guy riding is the guy next door. He got my old frame and should have it done soon.

WarPaint, that's killer stuff man. Very, very nicely done. Great little vids too.

[Mike Bean]

Hey Warpaint,

How about some close ups so we can get a good view of your new BSR. I was not aware you were building a new BSR.

Nice vids...When I clicked on the first two link they seemed to be both the same...

Have Fun!

Mike

Hey Mike The first two were the same . I loaded the same video but changed it. Hey i need a 40 or 41 thooth sproket and a set of hubs. 1" for the rear.
Oh #41 on the sproket.
I will get some pics up soon.
Thanks

[WarPaint]

Hey mike nice work on your new BSR. Just don't kill yourself. We don't want to lose this forum. LOL

[adamgibson]

hey there, i came over to your house eariler today and talked to u and your friend out front, just thought i would let u know my username if u would like to talk sometime. adamgibson

Hey great!
Glad to see another BSR fan close by. I'm excited to see what you will come up with. I have seen small engines to full blown Harleys. It is all in what kind of money you want to spend. the one you seen yesterday is my new one. I just got it on the road this weekend. it runs great and likes to wheelie, that is why i had to put the wheelie bar on it. I'm not a racer but i do like the looks i get when i speed by. But hey keep in touch and stop by when you can. I'm no pro at this but there are alot of guys here that are. And will be more than happy to help. All we ask is post photos of your build and video if you can. Everyone likes to see what kind of creativity others have.

Oh and the skull in front is a headlight.

[WarPaint]

sorry didn't mean to send yet.

[Mike Bean]

Warpaint,

Very nice work on the new BSR. I like the skull on the front, it fits in nicely.

Can you take a few close up photos of your wheelie bar setup so I can get some ideas for mine?

Thanks!

No it was a strobe light I got one halloween. I took the strobe bulb and board out left the lens in and wired up a 12volt halogen bulb i got at walmart for 3.00 and it works great and is very bright. i will have to get some night photos when i get it put back together.

[Redrooster]

Nice job Warpaint .... looks great... I like the videos too....

[WarPaint]

The wheelie bar works great. The front comes up just like it should. I will post video soon.

[elvergon]

IRONIC!

You need a 41 tooth sprocket and I have it.

I need a girl like that and you have it.

[Mike Bean]

Now the real question here is.....

Is the sprocket worth more than the girl? And is a trade possible if that is the case? :laughing:

[freak]

You got the video yet ???



Ok how bout now ???


Man i really dig your BSR man !!

[Redrooster]

Nice ride Warpaint...

[WarPaint]

[Redrooster]

[elvergon]

[freak]

[minidragbike]

Man that looks fun. Wheelies!:)

[WarPaint]

No that isn't me on it. That is the kid next door. he has my old frame and is building him one. The tires are 11x8.10-6 . and yes it is alot of fun. I like the skull theam i got for it. I have more skulls for it but want to wait till i got paint on it.

[minidragbike]

I saw a nice skull helmet on ebay. It was from bazil, and it was extremely nice looking.

Yep i think i seen the same one. verry cool but I'm trying not to over do the skull thing. I like skulls but some don't.

[BAR-TAB]

Tell me about it I almost got the skull exhaust tip that lights up, and several others, Im still planning on neon tho

[WarPaint]

Ok i picked up 3 mini kegs and now i want to make me a keg gas tank. Can anyone tell me how. I know i need a filler neck and cap . but how do you weld it on. And i can use the fule line hookup from my old tank.

thanks.

[freak]

Are they alluminum or steel ? YOu can find steel weld in bungs w/cap for motorcycles tanks on ebay all day. You can also use a pipe weld-in nut which are like $0.20 each. That you can use for a petcock or just a straight gas line. I've got a hand full of 1/4" ones if you can't find any.

[freak]

oops guess i kind of missed your Q. sorry. once you get a bung (filler neck) you use a whole saw drill bit the size of the bung . Then cover the inside of the bung so no splatter get in it. Then tack it first, once it's where you want it weld it in place.

[WarPaint]

Thanks i will cruze e bay and see what i can do. Oh they are steel.

Hey War:thumb: Cool looking Kegs! You will have to Tig Weld a filler cap and pep cock for the fuel line. Check J P cycles or look for Custom Bike tank Build suppliers. They should have what your looking for.:cheers: I think you have to have gas tanks pressure tested ? not sure about that though

[freak]

ONe more thing i just thought of. NOt sure how big those are. There's a place called twistedshoppers. Their bungs are smaller then most on bikes, just big enough to put the end of the gas pump in. Their's are steel and you can pick from 3 diff types of cap.

http://www.twistedchoppers.com/pics/product/Caps.jpg

http://www.twistedchoppers.com/index2.html

Also they are vented, which is another thing you'll want. They're pricey but great quility $65. It's just the only place i know that you can get a small one. To bad it's not aluminum, i know where to get it those $30. lol aint that the way it goes.

[dtb69]

warpaint,where did you get those kegs , and how much do they cost?
they are cool. dtb

[WarPaint]

Thanks freak i will check it out.
Hey dtb69 . i got them on e bay for 3.00 + shipping. i got all 3 just in case i mess one up. And if not . I will have 3 cool tanks.

[freak]

I think i may of found the perfect cap.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Small-Billet-Gas-Cap-for-custom-bikes_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35563QQihZ011QQitemZ320015977322

I've used 2 of their other caps on bike tanks and the quility is outstanding. These seem like the perfect price and the prefect size cap. Small, vented and way under $60.

If you find anything different or better let me know cause i wanna make one of those tanks. I'm gonna try to get one of those kegs off ebay and get one of these caps !!

For the record, just my .02 cents. Yes tig would be great but not everone has one. I've built 2 tanks for mini choppers and i used a mig on one and a linclon weld pak 100 w/fluxcore wire on the other. Weld, grind, test. Then weld where needed and grind and test again. I just filled the bathtub up with water and submerge the tank to find the airholes. But these are much smaller and you're only welding the bungs. So it should not take as long and you can prob do it in a sink or 5 gallon bucket of water.

[WarPaint]

hey great cap and bung. I may have to get it. Yep all i have is a flux core welder. But i would love to have a tig. And may soon. I was also told about this fuel cell coating that you pour it into the tank and slosh it around . it will coat and seal the inside of the tank. this is all cool stuff and i can't wait to get started.

[freak]

POR-15 is the sealer i've used and it came highly recommened from a few tank builders. When i used the fluxcore i sprayed anti-splatter all over it first. It did help.

[WarPaint]

hey i seen a sign like this on e bay. So i mad emy own.
What do you guys think ?

[buddy1954]

I like your sign good design & picture

[freak]

Any updates on the tank yet ??

I ordered one of those caps n bungs and one of those mini kegs. I'll post when they come in and try to take a few pics as i do it.

LOL . I don't have a BSR built yet but i'll have a kool tank and barstool for when i do.

[Redrooster]

Great sign Warpaint... will you be selling thoses?

[Mike Bean]

Are you going to be selling them? Are they on a metal or plastic backing? And how much?

Thanks.

[WarPaint]

No i didn't think of selling them. I guess i could.
i would screen print it on .040 sty. (plastic) I would want
to keep it big. if not the same size as a no parking sign very
close to it.
let me work on printing one or two and i will come up with a
price. But im thinking around 5.00 each

[freak]

WarPaint, Have you started your tank yet ? Which way would be best ? To make it so it stands up with the cap on the top of the can or turn it sidways and put the cap in the middle ?

I'm still waiting on my cap n bung. If my freaking nieghbor would stop parking in front of our mail box, i might of got it by now.

[WarPaint]

Hey freak
How is it going. No i had to stop work on my tank for a little time to print a few t shirt orders. But i did talk with a guy here in town that told me to braze the bung on to the tank. He showed me a little on how to do it. And where to get the stuff to do it. So maybe in a week or two i can get back on my tank and BSR. It is all tore down for paint right now. But i should have it back together in about a month.

Oh im going to put my cap in the side. I just like the look of it. Old school you know. I don't plan on keeping the label on it, so it will look great on it's side. I'm still working on a cool way of mounting it to my BSR. I want to do somthing wild .

C YA

[freak]

Thanks , can't wait to see the finished BSR and the way you mount the tank.

[WarPaint]

Check this out. i seen a bummper sticker and said hey why no for a BSR.
If anyone want's to see if i can use your BSR just e mail me a nice photo.
And i will see what i can do.

I really like the steering wheels you use , where did you get them? Looks like a great place for a Coolie cup! Snakester:cheers:

[WarPaint]

You are right . A beer fits great in the center of the steering wheel.

[moto1fast]

Hello, Sounds fun warpaint! You could also make a snow plow for the front of it and put chains on your tires. You could charge to clear of parking lots and drive ways!:rofl: lol Nice to see your not in the grave yet. Post pics when you get it backtogether!:cheers:

[lyinlow]
