Hi AERIAL0,
Congrats your bike looks really smart indeed 🙂 looks like you might beat me but saying that i am going to work on my bike this weekend, just got my tank back today after quite major surgery !! all nicely brazed up now we just need to offer it up to the bike and then get it painted and the tabs welded on,oh and the rear fender…[Read more]

Ha Ha, bet you would Phil,
i’m going hopefully down the workshop this weekend, you might get a call if i get stuck 🙂

Ahh actually i lost you phone no with my phone in the River Ouse, York lol. can ya send my a tex with your number again plz presuming you still have my number,….

Hey Just to let you know i’m not dead, finally got my tunnel in the tank sorted so it sits on the frame as it should. so that means the green tank is off on ebay and all other bits that i don’t need, unless anyone here wants it ??

sorry about my blurred pic i will take some with a proper camera soon 🙂

HHmm Beer lol,

# The tank is now in the capable hands of my welder friend, he wants to try his new Plasma cutter out on it, so i’ll just let him play :hammer:

meanwhile I have put all new stainless engine bolts in, all the drive train is sorted, Suzuki rear brake caliper spaced correctly finally, happy days…K

Hi Michael,
Yes it does suit the build, and the frame only one top tube so it sits on nice, only thing i’m going to do is make the tunnel in the tank higher so it sits lower on the frame. 😎
Rgds Kaye….

that’s today’s job…

Ha ha, yes CURVES LOL,

But the colour is Burnt Orange candy, over coarse silver metal-flake, i’m just waiting for some Lacquer to come 😉

Progress is slow sadly due to distractions…..like my feller and his hairdressers Porsche…..my boat BUT mainly BEER :pint:

I’m toying with the mustang tank hmmm

KK
No need to live in fear, thing is that frame has had a shed load of work done on it to give it them curves and like any mature Lady needs to show them off!!!!! 🙄

Hey KK,
I’m changing the colour because i think it need to be a bit louder!! watch this space lol

not long kk, i just keep changing my mind about some stuff, but that’s a woman’s prerogative…… i’m changing the colour……and the tank 🙄

I have juggled around with them and much better this way …

upside down mirrors…… oooo i’m getting there 🙂

well this is my take on Michael’s suggestions still only a template but i think i’m on the right track…
😎 😎

pps just incase anyone noticed there is a 1936 austin 7 in the back right on this pic slowly getting buried, at least my bike is doing better than that 😉

Hi Guys,
First Michael, thank you very much on your thoughts and ideas and yes i’m liking the idea of following the seat lines and i’m going to roll with that sort of idea, some inspiration is from a Triumph Hurricane (exhausts) and since the tank has been slimmed down a bit and the side panels need to meet the tank, and i’m most probably going…[Read more]

Its simple really, i’m planning on doing it to my bike….rgds……oh and a rough idea with a bit of wallpaper as side panel templates..

I have seen chops with mirrors pointing down, and i think they are pretty cool too 😎

Fair enough, I don’t think my bike is anyone’s taste but mine if I’m honest, I just try to post stuff as I’m going along, but I put stuff on my fb and get more interest than on here !!

This is that deep red mudguard cut down with a plasma cutter, and 10mm round bar welded on, i should get it on come the weekend….

Nice Colour 😎

Thanks KK,

Got the white stripes on mow and another 5 coats of Lacquer and i think thats about sorted,getting on with the wiring now while the back mudguard is being Butchered, erm sorted. 🙄

Thanks KK,
It’s more like the first one, and the black line is going to have a white line too 🙂
