Planning on cutting off the three "spines" on the CB750SS and welding in a 3" DOM tube for oil in frame. Got the idea from a guy that races them out of Denmark. Kinda like the old Triumph oil in frame bikes.

I made one out of a fire extinguisher in college, (one of the smaller ones)
had a buddy weld on some fitting tabs and it worked great! i have also seen where a large paint ball gun can was used

oooo, I like the idea of the fire extinguisher too, do you know off hand how much oil the tank should hold for the motor?

going to have to look that one up on the bike bud
it is a pretty common mod on HD choppers though, mine was done on a CB750

JRK5892, that's the shit right there, I think I'm gonna try it out...it'll look a hell of a lot better than that one in the picture though, haha

That's a neat use for an extinguisher

I got the idea from Kong, he passed away a few years back, was a great help, sad he went... he helped me to build my 1st drop seat bobber out of a CB750
