Could you maybe do a seperate thread/ short explanation on how you did the gas cap?? I want to do that exact thing but didn't know if it was possible or not!

the gas cap wasnt to hard.. bought a dented r6 tank of ebay for about 50 dollars and cut out the part where the filler cap is located and welded it into the cb tank. :D

got some work done this weekend aswell :D its starting to look like a bike again


finally got the engine back in the frame!


started some test assembly


The headlight will be lowered and moved closer to the bike for a tighter look


just had to try the wheels on to see how it will look like


Im gonna change the color of the calipers to black instead as i feel that the bronze on them crash abit with the rest


some more shots of it


and some more... cant wait until spring to try it out


testfitted the speedometer aswell :D

and i am going to remember my real camera tomorrw and take some better pictures :P

Such a shame to do all that work then use those sh1tty rear shocks, you've spent money on everything else. why scrimp on the shocks, especially after putting a cartridge style front end on it....?  Seriously , throw the shocks and buy some good ones... ;)

actually this bike has been buildt on a very tight budget, as bikes and parts are really expensive in norway.. alle the work that has been done on it is done by me and with a little help from a couple frinds. the shocks can be replaced in the future when i have saved up enought cash. And i have just bought a 1967 Camaro ss/rs 350 that im gonne fix up aswell so im a little low on cash :P
