Great to see you still making progress on this build. It's looking really cool so far, and I can't wait to see more.

thanks for the compliments :mrgreen:
as for the tank....im going to go full tank(not tool box style like all my others....thisll have curves since the rest of the bike does)....riding position is fine...i havent welded the seat on yet(been working on the shifter and got side tracked) but ive sat with it on in position and its actually comfortable.
again thanks and ill get the shifter pics up soon as well as the seat mounting

well its just a (really)rough mock up but you guys get the general idea....

shift arm still needs to be bent to what i want(like i need an excuse to play with the torch :mrgreen: ) but its a start...

Great idea! What holds the socket onto the gripshift? Did you cut off the backside of the socket or machine it to open up the end? :idea:

Doh!!!

How did I miss this one?

Looks great, really like the flowing lines on the frame, and nice choice of wheels/tires, gives it a real tough look IMO.

Cant wait to see it done.

just flash rust....no gloves worn yet plus lots of rain and humidity(fwiw i work fast when people toss money my way :P )
some metal prep and a scuff pad will make short work of it before it sees primer&paint...
ohhhh....i forgot to mention why im not running a 1" pitch chain on this one!
