Nice. Is that the Foxy Boxy? I really dig that tank.

In photobucket when you mouseover an image it will give you something like 4 choices. Click on the IMG one and copy the link - then paste it into your post. Should work like a charm.

I agree with Iggy, is that a carbon fiber tank or is it just covered with a ply of CF.

cadaver · « **Reply #15 on:** June 27, 2009, 04:37:48 PM »

You got the fork covers too?! I have the envy

Decked out in Benjie gear it's going to turn heads. Mine is turning already

Beans · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2009, 04:58:47 PM »

Was just checking out the bcr site and it makes me want to build a cafe racer for my next project. I love the fork tube covers they make looks clean.

cadaver · « **Reply #18 on:** June 27, 2009, 05:41:22 PM »

yes ...i have gotten most off my stuff from BCR ... I wish I had a garage ....but i live in a 4 plex....ive read a lot on how to make what i wanted, and had to bite the bullet and outsource

, but im happy with what I have ...this project is more for a freind that died that helped me pick up the bike 8 years ago...after this .. I want to do a 750

cadaver · « **Reply #19 on:** June 27, 2009, 06:37:47 PM »

forgot to mention that when I took the forks off the left fork had a rilly bad pit on the fork tube so i went and bought anther that came with the other one so i can have dual disk breaks ...but that will be some time to come ..maybe in september ill get to that ... I still have a lot to do ...just throw more money at it with the cannon LOL

cadaver · « **Reply #20 on:** July 03, 2009, 04:31:51 PM »

well this is just a little more progress, getting more of the wire done and ready

...urrrr had to get out of the sun at 4 PM was starting to get to hot and i had to take a beer break its only 88 degrees Fahrenheit. but its damn hot lol...hope i can get more done ..because tomarrow the fam wants to do firework stuff ...and all day ill be thinking about the bike

cadaver · « **Reply #21 on:** July 14, 2009, 08:59:28 PM »

well I was able to get some wiring done, but ive gotta take out the wire harness that leads to the headlight bucket, its not wired the right way to it ..its wraped around and not strait ... I hope when I take out that slack that Ill have enuff ... but today I was able to finish the rewirering and hook up most that will will work .. put some fule in the new tank ...and fire it up ...this is how it went ...<embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i599.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid599.photobucket.com/albums/tt76/cww_cadaver/MVI_0884.flv"> ..

cadaver · « **Reply #22 on:** July 16, 2009, 11:05:25 PM »

well a little set back ...when I was inspecting the motor I notices that number 4 cylinder wasn't firing, I think that has to do with my carbs as thay sat because of lack of cash at the time ....BUT ...as things wormed up ...as i did see that the head had a oil ring around it ...urrrrrrr hope thats not to bad ..its not leaking realy bad, not bad at all ...just when it worms up . some smoke . thatd burning off..is that bad ?
im having a little hard time .timing it because its a dyna 2000...maybe i need a DIY 2009 dyna book for dummys ...but progress is cumming along . but if i gotta rip in the top and replace the gasket thats ok ...but other than that ..well ...anyone that lives in the portland oregon parts ...ill buy beer and we can work out some cash

I am glad that you are putting the BCR parts to use. I dont have an adequate garage either. I was planning on going the same route as soon as I got some duckets.

The carbon fiber looks great. Were there any alternate fiber colors?

mrosso · « **Reply #24 on:** July 17, 2009, 08:27:38 AM »

Hey, brother, I'm with you on this one... I'm building my bike on the patio of my girlfriend's apartment. And it's going to be 108 F today!!! I'm using benjie's headlight bucket, but I'd love to get my hands on one of his tanks. Also, great frame work, man. Nice loop and battery box. I'll be watching to see where you drop that Dyna 2K box. I'm struggling with how to mount that #$%*.
