Its not a show bike by any stretch. My paint work has its flaws. You can see why i purchased the blue tank. The red one was so nice from the side the seller showed but the other needed so much work. I was hoping for the aged patina of factory paint. The blue one has everything i was looking for and wont get resprayed. The red tank was able to be saved. It made its way to another bike and after using lots of materials inside and out should spend many more years out on the road.

I'm very grateful that you're sharing build pics; I love stuff like this. I had an old YB100 that I wanted to do something similar with, but the Yamaha stamped frame was just too awkward to fit the Honda clone engine, so I scrapped it. Have you heard Millyard's 100cc v-twin? That sound makes the hair on my arms stand up!

I bet you're already aware, but for those who are not, the Honda clone engine has holes drilled and tapped underneath to accept a bolt-on footpeg and kickstand assembly.
