Been playing with some fibreglass on the tank.
Tank, seat and rear guard are not properly fixed just sitting in place.
Not finished yet and not sure about the way the seat sits. Might cut off the seat horns and lower the set.

Hmmm... needs whitewall tyres... looking a bit more 1960s Honda these days, I like it.

The tank is a Honda with some fibreglass mods.

I found this Honda tank and knew it had potential.

It did not drop down enough for me so I used cardboard and covered it with fibreglass to create the shape I wanted.
