Looks righteous

Cut out two pieces of steel from the template, one slightly different than the other for imperfections in the tank shape. I then proceeded to tack the wrong side on. sigh... Ah well. I'll make it work. It'll just take a little more work.

How's this build going ?

How's this build going ?

With another build going on, and a couple of customer items in the shop, this one has been on pause. I knew that this one would be a slow burn from the beginning, because this is the one build that I don't want to rush.

Let's see some progress on this bad boy [emoji41]

First bit of work on this bike in quite a while.

Love this build, looking forward to more!

A brass wedge/nose cone would look great on there...

It's very disappointing to see all of my photos down, but I really don't feel like fixing them. So, I'll just move onward. I worked on this bike for the first time in a long time this weekend. I started stitch welding the tank pieces together, did some welding on the frame here and there, and adjusted the chain guard to fit better. Put some parts back on it, so that it looks more like the Airflo I'm going for.

I still like the look of this bike...
I'm not 100% on the stem yet
But the frame stretch and tank is awesome!

Since you mentioned it, I'm actually thinking of making my own version of the Shelby tomahawk stem.

Really one of my favorite in progress builds around!

Do you still have the pics in your computer or somewhere?
Even a quick montage of your best build pics collected in a new post would be better than nothing...

Yep, that's cool

I've been thinking a lot about how to make the curved fender braces. I've imagined many ways to do it. In fact, I thought myself in so many circles, that I did nothing. I finally made the call to just try something, even if it doesn't work. I took a steel exercise bike wheel I've had in my junk pile, and cut it up to use the curves. It might just work.

Brilliant!

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me!

I love the thinking here!

 

[Jaypem]

Progress!
Whenever I'm passing through Sac I remember your builds and think it'd be cool to see one or two in person...

I was able to do some curved braces out of 3/4x1/8 flat...cold bent in the vice.
But I think you're pulling off some much cooler braces there with your exercise wheel...
