Why do bare 750 engines always remind me of Cylons from Battle Star Galactica?
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Great looking bike! Do you have any progress pics of the fuel tank. I'm thinking of trying to make my own, but wondering how to do the bottom to clear the spine, and a few other things. Also, where did you get the fuel cap?

Thanks,

Brandon
Sure it's for sale! How much you ask?? Well, how much are you willing to pay??? Now triple it, that's the price!

We machined a neck to take the stock Honda cap.

We bent a flat plate of aluminium to clear the spine....its in the pictures a ways back.....couple bends and a taper...with some triming and your set.
