Can not wait to see how those pipes turn out and what you do for an oil tank.  Great Job!

So the Oil tank is finished up.





Even used the Stock cap and dipstick...just have to remark it.

Drain plug is positioned so that it will drain on the Side stand as the Center stand got cut off long ago...



Seat pan and back come off with 2 Dzus fasteners...All ready to mount the electrics





Working on the Exhaust and Mufflers now...gotta get the placement right.

Mufflers will need to be filleted and sucked up closer to the shocks.....







Anyways...back to Work.  ::)

That is turning out to be one slick looking bike. Can't wait to see it done. Can't wait to see my project done either as far as that goes. Working on two years now... but I can see the final stretch ahead of me... way, way, way ahead... but at least I can see it now...  ;D

Tim great work on the engine!! That is beautiful!

How did you get the black so black on the gear indicators and the left hand alternator cover? Very well done!

And agree about the velocity stacks - very very nice! Homemade or bought?

Cant wait to see how this ends up....

cheers

I repainted the Black with the handy dandy Airbrush.

Working on getting Dookies Exhaust and rear brake sorted today....

Then back to the exhaust cans

Stacks were bought from Havocturbo
