Yeah, it is.

Yesterday, I screwd up my 2nd fuel tank, that I had for the Baotian project. I tried to weld an hose nipple under the tank. It did not go so well, so I did cut off the hole thing and tried to weld it to another tank, that I had. I did screw up that thank too, because the fuel tank metal is so thin, that I burned through the tank, after that it was leaking few places near the weld. So I had a idea to weld an peace of metal, to strengthen the welded area. That attempt made the tank situation even worse, the tank was still leaking.

I have a 3rd fuel tank too in the garage, but it is suitable for the BT50QT-9 model. In my country, there is lack of parts for those Chinese scooters like BT49qt-20 and BT50QT-9. If Im lucky, then I might find something in Germany (Scooter-Attack) etc. Option 2 is find another donor scoot.

I was thinking and one thought came into mind - I might make a template, draw it to metal, cut the peaces and weld it together, like I made the Battery box. I have a second battery box too, but I used a template to make it. That one is still not welded up.

But, there is some good news too, what makes me smile. I made contact to the MotoGadget crew and they apologized for the waiting time. I ordered those things (10th november 2021): 4x mo.blaze LED turn signals, M-Button and mo.relay+ for the 4 turn signals. The reason for the delay was, that people were sick. Yesterday I got a email, with the bill, that they send out, when the order is shipped.

So far I have spent over 700€ on my project (MotoGadget stuff). The scoot did cost about 270€, the donor scoots were 300€.

Next things on the list for my project, will be:

1. TrailTech Vapor Kit, Generic Inverted Forks, 19mm Water Sensor (# 752-119)
(The water sensor I will use for the oil temp)



or

Striker Kit, Generic Inverted Forks, 19mm Water Sensor (# 712-119)




2. Vapor Indicator Lights, Dashboard, fits Striker (# 022-PDA)




or

Indicator Light Dashboard, Universal, fits Trail Tech Digtal Gauges (# 022-IDB)



3. Surface TTO, Temperature, Black, Radiator Hose, 19mm (# 742-EH1)

5. Surface TTO, Tach Hour, Black (# 742-A00)

Yesterday after work, I went to garage and made a temporary table.








Also, welded the bottom of the fuel tank back to his place. But it is still leaking, so I was thinking about covering the bottom side of fuel tank, with Fiberglass. Maybe that will stop the leaks.

I had a nice surprise today. I went to get new work clothes and when I came back to home, there was a missed call and message from FedEx guy on my phone. I called him back and he said his: "Are you home right now? I will be there in 30 seconds!" I said to him, ok, I wait outside then. The stuff from Germany (Motogadget) arrived to me.

1. 4x Mo.blaze LED turn signals.
2. M-Button.
3. Mo.relay+ for the turn signals.

Today in the garage, I upgraded the table with beefier mounts







And also, I covered the outlet port area, what I welded back to the fuel tank, and what was leaking, with fiberglass. Next time, I will sand it down and add maybe one layer of fiberglass to it. I hope that will stop the leak. I do not want to fly on the street, with the scoot and be a huge fireball

Today I finished my night shift at 8am. After that I went and brought a scissor jack, went to garage and made a lift. Also, I placed second coat of fiberglass to the bottom of fuel tank. For safety, I added the stand, what came with the project scoot to the rear. I need to make a new one or modify that one. Next time, I hope to start wiring the scoot and Motogadget M-Unit maybe.

Today was another garage day for me and I made new battery box and under seat area. The battery will be located in new place, under the seat with place reserved for the M-Unit and fuses too. Maybe something else too. Time will tell.

Here is the video, what I did today (new battery box and under seat area for battery + other electrics etc.

Today I brought a set of these Spatuim 2x6, 5700K, 160x46x64mm, 10-32V DC LED Driving lights. Set contains 2 lights, one is going to be high beam and the other low beam. They look so cool. I can not wait to see them light up the front of the Street-Wolf.

Today, I finished the under seat metal work. Maybe little bit more, then I might cover it with fiberglass from both sides. Next major thing in the list is handlebar, ignition and other wiring. Also the Motogadget M-Unit wiring.

[Scootrific]

Last time, I finished the metal work of the under seat electronics apartment. I also made a braket for the ignition key, but right now, Im thinking, where to put it. Here is a Part 7 of the Project Street-Wolf:

[Scootrific]

Because, working in my garage with only +2 degrees celsius, I took M-Unit and the wiring kit home, where is +17 degrees celsius. Big 15 degree difference while working. I do not want to get cold. I made this at home. Now it is little bit simpler, to connect and add wiring to the scoot:
