Tank is done and ready for paint:




Installed the rear hoop, DCC large hoop with upturn and used their frame slugs:

Nice work on the tank.  What clip-ons are you using?

@cb750 café race fan - IDK, got them off ebay back in march for mock up and to decide if I wanted to go that way or clubman, I think they are just cheap 35MM generic clip ons, only paid $40.
