That looks sick man. - Coming along really well.  How did you get him to send you the "DIY" version of the oil tank?  That's exactly what I've been looking for.  Thanks!

It wasn't a DIY kit.  He actually did all the work for me and pressure tested it.  The only thing I had to weld we're the mounts to the frame.  His website is anythinggoes74.com.  Very nice stuff at more than reasonable prices.

*UPDATE*
The seat is back from getting covered.  The bike is wired up and the Santee box is all set.

Love it! The tail light is a nice touch..

btw - bars arrived and were expertly packed! Thanks for the quick turnaround.

What bars do you have on there right now and where is your battery going to go?

The bars on there right now are superbike bars flipped around and upside down.  I got a 4 cell Antigravity battery and fits perfectly in the right side of the Santee box.

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

Wow that did turn out pretty clean. Good work!  I love the look of the rear triangle w just the custom tank. How was the hookup for that? thats definitely on my list for this winter but moving the electronics to the seat hump (to be) is worrying me haha. Im not much w wires. Its inspiring to see other members carrying out their visions though. Again, very cool build bud (-:
Ride safe!

Thanks for the compliments everyone!  It just goes to show what you can do when you talk to people who really know what they are doing. Don't worry about the wiring, it's actually very easy. I used the stock harness and just modified it for my needs. That way I didn't need to worry about connections matching up.  Feel free to shoot me a line if you need any help when time comes.  As for the oil tank, I asked the guy who made the tank for the correct fittings for a Honda and he had no problem. On the engine side I sawed off the stock oil line connectors and used them.  Super easy!

When I made the seat pan I drilled two holes where the old battery tray connected to the frame, insterted two machine screws, and its held on the frame by wingnuts on the underside. If you go to page 1 of this thread you can see the two screws in the seat pan.
