Well, the tank has had extensive welding done on it for the Ryca mod. If it were going to blow up it would have already.

No. The tank went from Ryca to me to my painter, where it's awaiting some bodywork, de-rusting, sealing and such.

I picked up the frame.




Along with some other pieces. For example:



The color is actually darker in real life.

The powder coater did an excellent job masking off parts like the steering and swingarm bearings and all the holes. I won't be spending the rest of my life scraping powder coat from unwanted places.

no kidding on the masking. my powder coater didn't mask very well either and I broke off a bolt in the oil filter cover on my clutch cover. had to have the hole plugged and re-tapped.
