What did you end up coating the exhaust wrap with?
NINEGEAR said:my dad says that tank looks top heavy. can you get some knee downs on that bike without falling over? or do you not do knee downs.
anyways dose that tank affect anything on the bike other than how long you can go without fillups.
deadlandxtreme said:Perfect example of taking your time on one of these bikes! I was wondering if there are any places around here in the Carolinas that cafe riders meet up at. I'm just south of Charlotte and looking for other local people. Then again, not sure how many of you 4 stroke guys like riding with an oil burner like me.

Your work has been not only enjoyable to follow but extremely inspiring to me for some of my future projects. You neglected nothing in your build, every part and process has so much time and effort put into it and the finish goods show it. This bike is not particularly the style café that I am into, but I defiantly appreciate it! That is what I love about customs. This bike has a certain nostalgia that I love, it has a very traditional look, however it is so tweeked and different at the time. I applaud you my friend. Happy riding! ;D
tWistedWheelz said:Also: Do you have another project planned, if so: what, when? : If not: WHY? ???
byrdman76 said:Glad to see it completed man! The bike absolutely looks great - hope to see it in person some time.
Good luck with the NCDMV - I know first hand how much of a PITA they can be.
gstanfield said:Absolutely beautiful. I've read through all the build threads and will be using your technique on my seat pan with my CB400 build I'm working on. If I had the time, motivation, and determination I would build a tank as well. I love the large capacity tanks and the way the tail hump matches the large tank. If either of them had been "normal" size it would have looked terrible, but with both of them large it looks well portioned and has to be one of the top 5 bikes on this site in my opinion.
Great work,
George
