I didn't know where else to post this. Occasionally Huze will post something worthwhile... http://cyrilhuzeblog.com/2016/01/11/cb550-styling/#more-152248

I love these things. http://www.all-spec.com/products/Greenlee/Tools%7CWire_and_Electrical_Tools%7CTOL-22/G7238SB.html

I know this thread is a little old, but I have a different take on how to do this. I use a bolt together hole cutter. it even works on curved surfaces. It can't slip and mar the finish either. In fact, if you need something similar done, let me know.

Have you thought about "welding" it from the back side with a soldering iron?

Any updates? I'm dying to see how this turns out.

You might try clubchopper. I remember a discussion there about them around a year ago.

I was watching that one myself, but it was too far away to seriously consider. Looks to be worth what you paid. Hope you have fun with it.

As a 20 year old kid going through SFQC, my Commandant, Colonel Robert Howard, who also happened to be one of the greatest Special Forces soldiers who ever lived, had this warning for me: There will always be those around you who will attempt to make their own candles shine brighter by trying to...

Or got to the local Harley shop on a Saturday and see some titties while my bike gets washed. I mean, IF that was my thing...

Re: 1971-ish CB750 with GSXR Front End and other bits I can't really afford That's a nice looking build. The CB500T tank has always been my favorite. It definitely enhances the appeal. You've got some pretty good fab skills for a poser. Rear sets look good too,

I guess I'm one of those lazy guys who doesn't give a shit. My daily rider has no paint at all, including the frame, and I don't spend any time polishing it either. The aluminum on some of my other bikes stays good by simply maintaining it once in a great while, but for the bare metal bike I...

Military pricing is the only kind they offer. Sure I could make one (I have the lathe ability) but that would defeat the purpose of the build - a bike made out of weapon parts I used on bad people, and that they used on me. Canyon-I'm glad you like it. I've posted build logs in the appropriate...

3500 Lumens of fun.

It looks good as is, but if you want to work it some more, don't worry about going too far. That's how we improve our skills. If you screw it up, you throw some weld on it, or buy another one and start over. I do understand your apprehension though. I remember the first time I took a cutting...

I'm thinking of doing something very similar, but instead of storage I'd like to fab up a simple oil tank between the rails. I may be able to get a small battery under the Honda tank, which is actually horseshoe shaped when viewed from the rear. In essence I want to skeletonize the whole frame...
