Louie the McMan has inspired me with his Pierce replica. I've got an early bicycle that I'd like to convert to a camelback style bike. I was wondering if anyone out there has a tank handy to take a few measurements so that I can get as accurate as possible on my fabrication. Thanks for any input!!!

Sounds great. If you are like me you will be modifying it as you go. I'm sure a lot of people are not going to like what I'm going to say next but it true... I think anyone can bolt together just about any kind of motorcycle but to build one from scratch is something else. The engineering involved to build a frame, drivetrain, and gearing is above most people not to mention suspension, functional throttle and brake controls, or tanks that don't leak. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a machinist or a great welder (I am a good grinder!) and I realize the things I build are just toys that are not even finished in great detail. But like on my antique bikes, every thing will be functional. So I encourage everyone to scrape up what ever you got laying around the garage and put something together even if it's just something to ride around at the meets or around your neighborhood, it will give you a good idea of how early bikes were created 100 years ago.Louie
