So, stock faux tank and I am probably going to reinstall an under seat fuel cell. Longer rear fender, and it is starting to look a little better.

I think that shortened rear fender looks pretty good. I gotta tell you, it's a real pain getting the fuel tank in and out of those things.

 

[cxman]

ahh

drop the exhaust

disconnect the drive shaft

drop the shocks

rear wheel and brake

final drive and swing arm

and the tank comes right out

put in new clutch springs while you are that close as well

 

[JustinLonghorn]

Mocked up a new tank. Volume proves to be about 2.85 gallons. Messing with underseat battery tray as well.

Where's the air filter gonna go?

 

[JustinLonghorn]

There is just enough room for it. The PO had modified the air "box."

 

[JustinLonghorn]

Got a few minutes to work on this beast, so I fabbed up a battery box. Still need to fill a couple of pinholes, but not bad for a slag thrower and no metal brake.


Yep. I can dig it.

 

[irk miller]

Nope. Not bad at all.

 

[Maritime]

Yep. nice

 

[JustinLonghorn]

Picked up a vintage fog light that will be my headlight.


Also picked up this tail light at Mid-O and welded up a quick mount.

 

[JustinLonghorn]

Biltwell bars and oury grips.
