Update

I've been working on this and that here and there lately. Not much to document. I started re-wiring the other night.

I re-enforced the rear fender (spare-tire-cover I got from Ivan's stash) by welding a 2 inch section of steel to the bottom and ended up warping it pretty badly. I tried standing on it to un-warp it but that sucker it strong. Now it'll take way too much time to fix so I ordered a real nice repop fender from West Eagle. That'll be here Friday; so I'll mount it then.

Also, it turns out that my chain tensioner is set up for a left side chain drive and I need a "reverse" spring to make it work properly on my Sportster. I sent the original spring back to Monstercrafstman yesterday and they're sending me the new one today. Hopefully I'll get that Friday as well.

So, I have a long weekend ahead of me. In the meantime, I'll be skateboarding as much as this Indiana shit rain will allow.

Tank Mounted

As you can see in the second photo, I didn't do a very good job centering the rear mounting hole. The tank looks sick though.

Bungs

I bought some threaded bungs from Lowbrow Customs. Then I drilled some holes in the top of my frame and welded them in.

New Gas Tank!

Built by T-Bone of NOISE. This piece is super clean with gorgeous welds.

Oil Tank Mounted

They aren't the prettiest welds but I did them myself. I still have to weld the bottom of the tabs but I'm going to wait until I tear it down for powder coating to do the final welding. I had to offset the tank a bit to clear the drive chain.

Amber Vision

Finished making a headlamp bracket and mocked up the old B-L-C fog lamp. I'm feeling it for sure. I also lowered the front end one inch.
