I was thinking that if you do end up polishing all the aluminum pieces it would be cool to see some color highlights in vinyl to accent the body work. Maybe something jet fighter inspired since you have that angular feel of a fighter already.

 

I'm going to the original finish of polished frame/swing arm and painted tank etc.

This might not look like much done here but I was really worrying over the last few weeks about finishing the tank, I knew getting all the internal welding done would warp the ally sheet of the bottom section, but getting one join welded then letting the piece cool down has worked, got all the internal welding done (just need to grind all the edges)

And the top half tacked in place, tank fits perfect, will mack up the rear mounts tomorrow.

 

So here's the finished tank, welded together and sanded down, fits the bike superb too!!! nice.

 

Got the tank mounts made and fitted (they will be welded in place and the screw holes filled)



Made the infill pieces for the tank bottom, will get all this welded up tomorrow.

 

First class metal work. Really nice looking tank.

 

how do you test these tanks for leaks?

 

Put an airline in and pump it up, if you hear a hisssssssssssssssss, it will leak.

 

Little update.

Got the tank skirts welded on and made the worlds smallest hugger


Few pix of progress so far

 

That look ace. Quality fabrication

 

Made a start with the subframe cover, hope to get this finished tomorrow night and welded up Wednesday
