That tank really is unbelievably perfect...

 

[basementhardtail68]

Thanks! It turned out quite nicely!

Gonna be doing alot of grinding and blending when I finishing welding this in!

Very nice. Hmmm... I've got an extra titled cl350 frame sitting out in the garage... you've got my wheels turning now. Good work!

 

[basementhardtail68]

Thanks man! Yeah you got a title now it's time to bend some tubing! You wanna go hardtail or what?

 

[basementhardtail68]

Got 2 j bends today along with a long drive chain and a top hat bung for mounting the tank. I bought mounting tabs for the front of the tank at a swap meet over the weekend. Pics of the other parts will be posted soon.

If I build a second bike it'll probably be hardtail. Now I just need to finish the first one, lol.

 

[basementhardtail68]

Thanks man! Me too!

Got my hand controls in the mail today!

Speed holes! Removed the factory front tank mounts. They were sticking out too far and interfering with the new tank.

Patched it.

awesome build!
loving the lines.
you're quite skilled... that patch job looks sweet.

 

[basementhardtail68]

Got my levers and throttle in the mail. Just basic motion pro stuff. Also received my wheel bearings.

 

[basementhardtail68]

Thanks sinbad! Hopefully work on the headlight mount this weekend as well as the finishing the grinding and welding on the patch job and brace between down tube and back bone.

[basementhardtail68]

Any updates?

 

[basementhardtail68]

freedomgli,

I've done a few things over the last couple months but not a whole lot. Here are a few pics:

new seat hinge. didnt like my first attempt.

Seat remounted

I think the seat looks better now

Homemade chain tensioners

I cleaned up the fender more. Still not done though and I have to make struts and brackets for it.

Wish I had more to show but that is all.

Nice work, I really like your curved rear section. I was thinking that might look good on the 350 I'm starting. I'm really leaning that way now! Keep it up. I want to see where this one goes and the finished project.
