I love the few photos I can see in this post. Would like to see them all. I'm old and IT challenged. Can someone tell me what this "3rd Party Hosting" is all about? How can I access the photos?

"I have seen two photos of the tank mounting, wonder what this plate and bolts are for?"
Using the tank off of a Suzuki GT550/GT380 I had to relocate the tank mounts so I cut off the existing ones, welded them to a plate to get the right standoff distance then used sheet metal screws to attach them to that part of the frame.
At that time I didnt want to weld to the frame and repaint it, so it was an easy solution. Its held up for years now with no problems, very sturdy.

edgwoodri,
The other photo of the tank mount a page or so back is a picture that Dave posted with an explanation of how he drilled a hole and used a threaded rod to achieve a similar mount as spammy.
I did the one on my bike the same way as Dave. I think it was a little simpler, but measure twice and then twice more before you drill that hole. I used a smaller GT185 tank on mine. My build is listed in the builds thread sticky'ed in this section. The thread is called "That 70s Show" and there are pictures of how I mounted the tank.

Thanks for the link Edgwoodri. Very nice ride Spamy. Top notch workmanship. It's beautiful. You must get a lot of comments on your bike when you are cruising around. A total transformation. I love the old school café look.

I havent taken very good pics yet of the bikes with the updated triple clamp, but I thought I would throw this up to give you an idea of what it looks like. I really like running the fat bars on my bike with this seat setup.

Latest updates. I made the cafe seat and associated parts interchangeable with these more scrambler like parts. So I can go back and forth between the 2 looks if I want.
Painted up a another tank, made a better looking front fender. Used my switches and other misc parts.
I think Ill make some mid set foot pegs next.
But for now its looking this way.

I like the way the fender came out. Really clean.

Too much sun has not been an issue in KY for the last 5 months!
The bike is looking good!
