Chalked in the design/pattern I want to paint.. I’ll do a test and see if I like it…

Great scallop for that guard.

Only color I had for paint test (Meringue)

Look what I found scrapping off the layers of house paint on tank!

Ok, I love the X53 Dual Springer but without a fender there’s a huge GAP!
Any ideas how to close that gap? If not I may have to resort back to the CWC Springer.

To me, that has always been a cool thing about using those forks. It is gives a gasser vibe. Here is Hot Rod Higgins from @Terry66 in BO7 for reference.

Looks like there would be room to mount a Delta Torpedo headlight in there, that could be pretty cool.

I like that gap for the reasons KF wrote.

The problem with that is you would end up crushing the light and maybe get a flat tire on the first decent bump you hit

Tested design pattern on tank today.
Gave it a little hand painted striping using a paint pen of course, hands not steady enough for the real deal using a brush!

I like that! It reminds me a lot of the So-Cal Speed Shop cars.

Did some late night work, swapped to the Snyder Crankset and decided to leave off the chain guard as I felt it distracted from tank.

Color test on other half of Tank Tin, something wild!
Added a cream stripe and showing top view of both options, A-Side and B-Side LOL!

Has a little bit of a Gulf Racing vibe.
