Hey, the new frame and tank look great!
What happened to your old bike?
What broke down? It was the jaguar frame right?
Thanx ! When I say it didn't make it through the winter,it was not really weather related,It was me. I got sick of looking at it all winter,so I stripped it down and started to gather parts for a new build.The jaguar frame is stil holding up I just wanted a different bike I guess.Stay tuned!!!
Good bike choice and nice components. You gave a lot of thought to your gas tank with the multiple angles. Nice work!

Bairdco,Yes I do like the Kiniptions.Where on your frame did you find your serial numbes.Silverbear,I must say alot of thought did go into the tank. But I did not to the welding or metal work.I tore apart great bike to build this vintage cruiser with a inframe tank and drum brakes.Man I sure hope it all comes together............
Hey Moto,
That bike is looking real good, the fork and tank are sweet....
Can't wait to see it completed.

This'll be another fun one to watch as it comes together. Looks pretty good already, can't wait to see it later.

Thats funny.. I thought you ment filler like bondo.The cap and chain is from a Boy Scout canteen and the neck is a pipe that was threaded to accept the cap.
Well Its about done and I'm very happy with the bike.I was going to get rid of my Columbia springer because it was hitting my tank and turning was an issue.I just moved the mounts back alittle an it gave me the clearance I needed.Good thing cuz this springer Rocks!! By far the the best I've owned.It is a up and down motion.Not a front to back like the Scwhinn springer.This is a 5 speed freewheel which is perfect for the shift kit IMO because I Do not have to skip gears like I did on my 7 speed.The steel frame is a great ride and It will take alittle getting use to the drum brakes.Still have to instal my lights just not sure if I want to put a rack on it or go with a under the seat cylinder shaped bag.
