I can only post one pic at a time so sorry about all the posts.What i did was cut a pc of 1inch tubing in half and formed it to the top bar of frame.Then i cut 2 templates for either side and welded them onto the curved tubing.grinded the welds smooth and with my red and green tin snips cut to fit.Stay tuned for finished pics.Not sure what forks,rims,seat,bars or anything else im going with,but for now its going to be 1 piece at a time.Its not my 1st or 2nd tank just adding another to the collection of bikes

I have to figure out how to not cut rite side of pic off

The tank's looking good Jay!
As for the photos, I think that you need to save them in a little smaller size in Photobucket before you post them here.

thx

 

[Jay Dawg]

Thank you.I am going to weld 2 flat bar brackets with holes between cantaliever bars,then weld 1/4 -20 nuts to bottom of tank.I can then easily bolt it on and off in case i decide to paint or stripe it
