I know I don't have that much time left but I don't really worry.
I started wonrking on a tank for it since I can't find someone with a busted 1 1/8 fork or 1 1/8 tubing.
I first cut out a template out of cardboard

traced it on to the sheet metal

and began cutting

after I cut out the 2 sides i noticed it was a little off so I took the grinder and evened it out.

I got really into the building the tank i forgot to take pictures of the bottom and top of the tank.

sort of finished I had to do spot welds because my welder was burning through the sheet metal. Stlll got to make it look pretty.

Well it aint pretty but it's the best i could do with a hammer,grinder,tin snips and the edge of my table and a welder.

Anytime someone starts welding and fabbing, their build jumps up a few notches in the eyes of someone like me that can't weld 8) Gotta see this one make the finish homie!

I dig the tank man.
Great job.

I've been wanting a bike with a tank like that, that hinges open on the side. Would be great for stashing stuff (nippers). ahem.

Looks much better with the tank! Glad it worked out 8)
