The bike took a backseat to my Jeep and my kids for the summer. Finally welded up the tank tunnel and base. Now I'll start forming the top. The seat has been done and mounted for a while with the existing tank.

Tunnel and base shaped and test fit together. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Round three of welding, grinding, sanding, and now throw in some polish. Pretty happy with the results on my first aluminum welding project though.

Seat Progress Slow going of setting up torch, lighting, welding, turning off torch, grinding, brushing, cleaning, flux, setup torch, lighting, welding... over and over. Still have 1 pin hole and 1 crack, and lots of filing and sanding to do.

Its an old victor torch set up. I've looked at the henrob, but I think it would be overkill for my occasional welding. I'm running 2 psi on both, and that seems to be working well. The torch and set up was passed down to me from my great uncle. They had not been used in years when I first got...
