On topic:
I am VERY excited to start this build. I have been inspired by many before me with amazing frame up builds to convert them into slick legal road blasters.
My plans are going to be:
-Custom swing arm to house the 2.75 tires that do not fit currently.
-Top tube support beam/Puch frame fuel tank delete.
-Top tube fuel tank
-Front and rear mechanical disk brakes
-70cc phbg conversion kit:
port matching for added flow/power
End result will be along these lines below:~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

I want to make the frame more skelton/bare. I have a tubing bender that I bought to build my cage on my e30. I will most likely end up bracing from the seat to the forks. Then removing the Stock Puch tank/frame and make my own. We will see how much has to be hacked up.

Originally posted by z6ne View Postso you're gonna attach a crossbar and then mount an external top tank onto that? You should fab it up somehow to where the tank sits totally horizontal to the ground, ive seen so many pictures of maxis top-tanked at an angle, looks really stupid in my opinion. What kit did you order? I've always wanted to build one and read so much in anticipation that I'm somewhat knowledgeable about them, but it turned into motorcycles. Got a 125cc enduro a while back, sold it and then got my first e30. Was a blast, really wanna get another one someday. what pipe are you gonna run?
I have a top tank from a Magnum style moped. I will see if it works for my plans, if not I will cut it up and make new sections for a custom tank. Wonderful thing about a welder! Anything with metal can be made.
I have this kit paid and inbound right now:

They are amazing, it will be even better once the engine is woke up with that big kit!
