Hi....Been wet here today so I got some sheet metal out and cut the profiles for the fuel and oil tanks....this bike has two separate tanks....right is fuel and the left is oil...the outside top edges are rolled ..looks like 1 1/2" radius along the edge..this will be a bit of a test to get them right....I will use the left tank to conceal the battery..cdi ignition.. coils..alt regulator and other electrical componets...will probally make the bottom of the tank so it hinges down with the parts attached to it...I will jump that hurdle when I get there.....Have to find some 1 1/2" brass to make a pair of necks and screw caps with a knurled edge...Havent made these for about 30 years so it will be a bit of a test cutting threads again......it will need a couple of baffles in the fuel side tank to stop the gas from sloshing around...I need to machine up about dozen 1/4" blind nuts for the mounting points on the tank and throttle levers that need to be brazed into the frame.....DD
