Moped Army

I am picking up a tankless Hobbit PA50ii this weekend and am thinking of doing a toptank, looking for ideas.

Basically need to figure what tank, what seat, and what kind of crossbar I want to use. I prefer bolt-on, but whatever.

Anyone have any pictures/ideas to contribute? I'm in no hurry to start the work, the bike needs a lot of work first...

This is an interesting one about cheap universal crossbars:

Tom O wrote in this one, Hobbit with a crossbar that he searched and found a bunch, but somehow I ain't getting it...


The best pictures I got (with all-Hobbit frames) were these, in order from how much I like them to least:

hobbit tank, unknown seat:


negrini tank, murray (?) seat:


tomos tank, moby long seat:


ams tahoe/lazer sport 50 tank, magnum seat:


general tank, unknown seat:


sebring tank, unknown seat:


unknown tank, peugeot seat:


Have any more to add? Post it up!
