This here is a great build. Rat on rat, new parts look like they came with the bike, old parts are survivor bike intact. I'd ride this and I'd park it with the rest of mine too if I could.

Thanks Carl I really appreciate I got a lot of compliments on it at the antique car and camper show . The tank just draws you in .

Nice work G! Those TRM tanks are fun aren't they? It gives such a unique look to the build, no matter what direction you take it. Like your color and patina on this one. The bar's position works really well with your design. :thumbsup:
