I have been intriqued by a lot of the RUFF Cycles and Basman builds I have seen on the web, so when @Jarod24 posted his friend's Dean frame for sale at a good price, I jumped on it.

Not really building it yet, but slapped a few parts on it that I had lying around.
PHAT / 3G Imperial Springer
and @yeshoney 's triple duck tail Shelby fenders

Tried the Western Flyer jet tank that I bought from @Wildcat a while back.
It fits the curve of the top bar great!!!! It would be simple to fill the gap in front of the tank.
This just might work!!!

I wondered who I sold that to. I sold so much stuff I've forgotten where most of it went.

Maybe some kind of light will fill the gap, and look like it's part of the tank and bike at the same time.
 
I still have quite a bit of the Wildcat bikes and parts that I bought from you.

twin lights maybe,bullit style mounted side by side so the bullit ends flow into/next to the front of the tank maybe

Not if I use triple tree forks. I would probably just do a simple panel insert. Nothing fancy of distracting from the coolness of the tank.
