After all the work fabricating the gas tank, my chief builder (Curtis) did not like the way the tank sat on the frame. His opinion was it sat too high at the front. Ever the perfectionist, he convinced me that he should build a new tank (same design but one that would sit lower) and, since his design ideas are always spot on, I agreed. The result is a more pleasing shape, etc.

Curtis also managed to find the shocks we needed. We decided to make the bike a "Low rider" so we are going to use 11 inch shocks. Low is good as I am not exactly "statuesque".
