I want one of those belt sander, don't have anywhere to put it though.
If it's made in China Harbor freight Tools or Northern Toll will have it in US
Tank is looking good I want to do one of them now : (I'll just add it to the list of things I haven't finished ;D )
I removed one of the drainage tubes in the end as it was a pain getting the mount in with 2, also tried to braze the tube in but couldn't for the life of me get the brass to flow, in the end used the TIG:
Also fitted my fuel lines (reserve and general), not pretty but hopefully functional:
Next up for the tank is making and welding on the petcock mount, then it's ready to pressure test and start bodywork
Alternate solution to mounting rear indicators made also:
Going to mount them on the frame rails:
These will not only hold the indicators but will also hold the exhausts (doing twin exhausts out the back) via an Alu hanger similar to the brake stay I made:
These are the exhausts, will be running 2 out the back and looking to sweep them up near the seat like a Ducati monster:
Personally I haven't dealt with them but Danmoto seems to have a very good reputation
It's similar to the silencer on Brendon's bike, surprising how well it works (and about 1/3 the cost)
Had a crack at my petcock mount yesterday too, v1 didn't work very well as it fouled the frame when I put the tank on and required some force to get everything back together. Not ideal when everything is painted. V2 was a more slim design:
Tacked it onto the tank to see how it all works:
Test fit with my petcock (which I cannot remember what bike it's off now, PJ???):
It's tight but should work, tap can be turned no problems and the outlet clears the upper shock mount:
;D Suzuki Intruder
As it's remote tap you could have mounted it in the 'triangle' a bit further back and unbolt it when you want to take tank off (that's how Suzuki do it)
Where it's mounted now looks kinda stock though 8)
