Ha that's awesome, and so true:grin: Im really hoping to bring the bike to a track at some point to get some pics... hopefully before the next calendar photo comp...

Lots more progress again today so I'll get right to it. First I got my centerline ready to cut out the tunnel. One inch top tube so one inch tape:grin: Cut off wheel worked great, I just had to be really steady:43: Nice tight fit:grin: Then I finally started the seat...

Wow thanks for all the opinions guys!:thumbsup: A few really good points too! It looks like the Felts won 7 to 4 so that's what I'll be going with! Thanks again!

Thanks! Im leaning towards the nomads too:39: You can see a bunch of pics of the one I used for mock up on page one of this thread, but here's one for easy comparison...

Well I finally got the tank fully welded today.:grin: Now starts the tedious task of grinding and smoothing:crazy2:... Then I welded the outer seams of the top to get a lot of material in the corners. After grinding most of that down I could get a decently rounded edge instead of...

Thanks:thumbsup: Still got lots to do...

Sweet! looks like the inlet from an old jet fighter:thumbsup:

lookin killer! I cant wait to see what you do with the spaceliner tanks:39:

Those forks are killer:thumbsup: Looks like you're almost on the home stretch.

Looks great! I'm sure you'll figure something out for the axle. Keep on keepin on, I don't hear any singing yet:thumbsup:

Uuuu very nice! Forgot about those. It probably wont be seen but im definitely going to get some T nuts, it just looks so much better:thumbsup: Thanks for the tip!

Lots of progress today and lots of pics:grin: But first, yesterday I was thinking about changing my "clip ons" because they were too bulky and it would be difficult to make the fairing clear them, so I racked my brain and the only thing I could come up with that would fit the 7/8 fork tubes was...

Thanks KF! I didn't even think of a stealth fighter at all, but now I see it totally looks like an F117 bike:grin: Thanks! I always try and match at many lines as I can:thumbsup: Thanks! The tunnel will take up a lot of room in the tank, but all said and done it should still hold around 2...

So I got a few good hours of work on the tank today and I'm really happy with how its coming along. I cut and bent the top piece and spent a good amount of time making sure I had as perfect of a fit as I could get. Then I figured it would be smart to cut and tack in the gas filler neck while...

Me too:rolleyes: It should hold gas better than cardboard too:grin: :rockout:

Finally got my sheet metal! 4x2foot of 22gauge cold rolled steel:grin: After a LOT of measuring because the cardboard was a rough mock up, I got my tank sides cut... Then some nice clean bends in the brake... And so it begins:crazy: That's all I had time for today, but the next few days...

Thanks! A bit of both, I'm thinking of keeping it mostly bare metal but maybe with some AMF style stripes on the tins. Thanks:thumbsup: Mean stance was one of my main goals:grin: Wow thanks:blush: Ill definitely be having a few late nights if I want to finish the bike in time of Shiny Side Up...

Haha, although at this point its more of a pedalable motorcycle than a motorized bicycle:rolleyes:

Thanks, Im all about the details:crazy: Just a nod to the factory gp race bikes of the 70's Thanks:thumbsup: The stand was more than strong enough without them, but I couldn't help myself...

So I got the last piece done today before I can start the tins. I was kinda worried that the seat plate and support bar wouldn't be strong enough, but it turned out way stronger than I expected.:grin: But first I made sure everything was nice and straight...ish Tacked and still straight...
