Cool. You might want to polish out the inside though.

That's probably one of the coolest velocity stacks that I've seen.

Some of my other little parts, the jockey shift is made with the lever from an old water spigot. The tank is also getting some soldered on "33"s and after the tank is painted(antiqued white) I'll polish off all the brass parts afterward

I love using old stuff like this..... I'll design an entire bike/project just to use one thing..... That new tank was just so I could use the old diesel cap with the lead fire/vent plugs

This is way too cool.

Let me know if you need another bell, Saigneléger (literally translated "bleedlightly") is no too far  ;)

Still debating if the tanks going to be antique white with a black number plate around the brass numbers. Or the inverse.......

Now I see what you're talking about!  I like it.  Very steampunk with the brass letters, fittings and vent.

so i'll have the tank mounts brazed on tomorrow and hopefully a better idea on what i want the paint to look like. it might end up as the same type of paint job as the honducati.
