Hey Maz, welcome back, them too!

I remember a t shirt I saw a lot of the gays wearing when I was in Virginia , " I am not A bitch , I am THE Bitch , Ms Bitch to you " !

I like it....if you ever get back there, make mine a size XL.......

Maz xx

You know that if you said XL, because you need a bigun to hide the "girls" .....That's braggin.... ; )

Well you know the old sayin' (slightly paraphrased) " If you got tit , flaunt tit " !

What can I say boys.....
anyway, started working on the tank, seat base and forward controls tonight.....maybe some soon if you are

Maz xx good......

I designed the gas tank a while ago and even started making a mock-up in cardboard just to check I had the shape right but I was taken ill before I got round to cutting any steel....

Anyway, tonight I got busy with the 9inch disc cutter and my metal folder and here is the progress so far....

Main part of rear section marked and cut out.... first folds done..... trying it for a fit (best Darth Vader impersonation) before trying it in the frame..... trying it in the frame...... tomorrow I should get the next section cut out and folded and then I can start tacking them together.....

Interesting look to it, and nicely fills the void between the frame members. Got more coming for the front?

And, I'm noticing that the flat surfaces on your frame make it easier to join and attach members and mounts.
Or seems so to me at least. What do you think? Does this work better than round tube?
Seems coping is likely to be a little easier than on the round tube.

Thanks Bob, and yes there is more coming for the front, there will also be a space under the front for the induction system and coils etc.....I've marked and cut out the main front top piece and there's a pic below of me making the aperture for the filler cap - using the original Yammy aircraft style filler..... more progress (and pics) soon......

Yes it does make it easier to attach brackets etc but with some of the angles, coping becomes a complete nightmare and has to be done manually as there is no way of using a holesaw or anything similar to form the cutouts....like I've said before, I always do stuff the hard way

lookin good the bike too

"aperture"......?....Stop wasting time....the word " hole " only has 4 letters.......; P

no wonder shes so fast her metal comes with premarked cut and fold lines
