Thanks.   The engine plates will have some changes before the bike is finished.  The oil lines will pass through to the tank that isn't made yet.  I might cut it and weld in an offset to get it behind the frame instead of outside.  Then they'll get either polished, painted black, or engine turned finish.  Once I get to making the lower mounts and the engine comes out I'll look into finishing on them.

 I did make new lower shock eyes.  They aren't set up for a bushing because I plan on getting good shocks before the bike is on the road.  But I did need to get them to the correct length.   They ended up 1/2" shorter than I could get the original pieces.  But that gets me the correct 12" length.

Finally made the crossmember to mount the latch for the tank strap, and the front stop for the tank.  I used anti-vibration feet for the front stop.  Now that the tank is mounted I can start looking at the seat and oil tank.
