That's what Hank calls propane. God's gas.

Yep bet he has a son named Bobby too..... I got the referance Robin. I was just about to ask if anyone else heard the king of the hill theme song when they look at this bike lolol (Its a TV show look it up same creator as the simpsons, futurama, american dad ect.)

All kidding aside bad ass idea for the bike hows the weight? Seems like without a under the seat tank and it above the engine the bike would be a bit more front / top heavy?

If you look at the original post, the gas man labelled the pictures 'before I ruined it' and 'after I ruined it'. So I was just going with that.

Okay, so we were just really slow. Well, since I did not get it until the last post, it was not even that fast. But I do remember that post from way back now that you mentioned it.

The full tank is only 55lbs with 8 gallon. I don't notice any difference, I guess the 10 inch stretch in wheelbase and all the other cobling I've done covers that up. With the tank being round with no baffles, I can stop at a light and rock it a little from left to right and can still tell if it has product left in it. It is more noticable with less than a half tank than full, I guess it has more room to slosh around at that point. Propane is almost half the wieght of gasoline and my empty tank is 22lbs.

Speaking of the 10 inch stretch, I can drive for miles at almost any speed without any hands. It never even offers to wobble. I can lean a right knee out to go right or left knee for left turn. I have a throttle lock or, I can keep my hands down near the engine for warmth and throttle it with the carb butterfly on either side. It balanced out very well to just have eyeballed everything.
