Well I decided to fix the dents in the tanks and repaint the tank, so it seemed like a good idea to do the front and rear guards as well. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. After I had the guards off I decided what the hell lets do it properly. Battery box and air cleaner out she started looking better.
Just painted the cylinder/crankcase/carby. Had a conical air cleaner and she fits in really neatly.
Going to rewire her so the electrics are under seat and wires hidden
Side cases were corroded and needed 240 600 and 1200 grit wet and dry before the aluminium polish started to work, I should take them off and use a polishing wheel but just dont have the energy,,,,never get old.
NOW A QUESTION!!!!!
Been thinking of replacing the tank with a sportster or an "Alien Egg Tank" saw them on ebay, 2.2 gallon capacity.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ALIEN-EGG-TANK-2-2GAL-HARLEY-TRIUMPH-BSA-XS650...Also what about running without a passenger seat and those chrome side pieces for a smooth rear end
Any suggestions and comments welcome
