Nice neat work mate, looking good! Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Nope, the standard tank holds around 3 litres mate, that's around 5 pints? Cheers, Terry. ;D

Great work with some really innovative ideas!  :)
I'm really enjoying your thread.
Cheers.

The forks are 37mm, the triples are wider and the stem swap was pretty simple. The stock cb750 stem is a larger diameter. I sleeved the inside of the stem and then brazed the insert in. After pressing the stem in and welding it's a perfect match.

 Swingarm oil tank.
I'm going to piggyback this off the bottom of my swingarm. Offset so the chain clears...... Drill holes in each leg and make a nice plate with a breather and cap

That should work :) You will get into some challenges when you are about to put on the oil lines. But it can be done:) I used pretty thick hydraulic hoses and they where a pain to work with.

I have two extra swingarms.... Any interest if I make a couple of these? Would come with oil lines.

Yep, I'm interested mate, I presume it'll come with a threaded cap and a breather pipe too? Cheers, Terry. ;D

 as soon as a get this bike together and make sure the ports are in an ok area I'll make a couple of these. Yes It will have the threaded cap, an inlet and outlet port, port for a breather, and SS lines and adapters to hook to engine.

Nice! Have you measured the capacity of your combined swingarm/oil tank? I'd love one with a larger capacity than the stock tank, if possible? Oh, and I'd want shock mounting points like yours, of course. Cheers, Terry. ;D
