Starting to look like a Bike

We've started fitting some of the parts together....just to make sure that everything done so far is the way we want it.  Nothing is permanently fitted at this time but "Dusty" is starting to look like a  bike!

Getting Tanked

The new tank was, again, a lot of work.  However, the result was well worth the effort.  Most of the fabrication is now complete.  Soon the tank will be off to be pressure tested and sealed.  After that, it's on to applying the Bondo for final finishing then painting and color polishing.


Curtis has also been working on the rear fender. Since we aren't using any external support struts and the fender needs to be strong enough to carry a passenger on the pillion pad, he has been busy welding reinforcing steel in the inside of the fender and building the external chrome trim.  It'll be awesome when finished.
