Parts were sent off to powdercoater last week and in the meantime I've been slowly acquiring the rest of the parts I'll need for the build.  I've also almost finished up the tank bodywork.  Today I went ahead and etch primed it so I can see where I still need to fix up.  There's some tiny pinholes that I couldn't see or feel too well before priming.  I have some 2 part glazing/spot putty to fill the pinholes and then I'll sand them down.  At any rate, here's how the tank sits right now.



Also, here's a Photoshop mockup of how the bike will look, more or less, when I'm done.

Thanks.  Still debating about putting a half fairing on the front.

Doo ittttt!


One of these Avon fairings with the bubble would look so sick.


Edit: I love the color of the frame btw.

Yeah, still debating the fairing.  Mainly trying to keep my budget intact.

Anyone have a clutch lever spring for sale?  The one on my motor is shot.
