What you think about using this for the water header/catch tank?


Old brass fire extinguisher

[CB_Phil]

Could look cool

[thumperslaw]

Will cut it shorter
Tho

[thumperslaw]

So done abit more ebay shopping and got this!

I like the name.....

Might use it as the petrol cap

[lloydie]

Lol . I remember watching the cafe racer program where a guy built a bike and used little bits of scrap to finish bits off and if I remember correctly when finished it look great .

[thumperslaw]

So Been messing around with the water catch tank today.

Cut couple of inches off to keep it nice and short
And made new insert where the handle once went

Photos for you

[lloydie]

Love the rustic look of the build :-)
Keep it up

[VTRDark]

It's turning into a true antique now Fire extinguisher is a great idea give the bike a bit of uniqueness.

(:-})

Back when true hot Rods where built
There was no off the shelf
What ever you had laying around

Welcome to my build

[thumperslaw]

Mate had this frame raked out at the front couple of days ago! Looks pretty mean look I think.
Also 1200 back end put on so now it runs 160 rear tyre instead of 130.
Three spoke wheel to!

I must not rake mine..........

[CB_Phil]

Both look pretty cool, the 160 conversions a good idea. Id leave your rake as is, cant been seen as copying

[lloydie]

I do like yours over your friends :-) just looks like more thought has go into it so far

[skyman]

shorter wheel base on a cafe racer style always looks better and turns quicker as well

[thumperslaw]

Well it's taken days for me to do some thing with the huge ecu! I made some strips of metal and welded them to the frame. I'll get some photos soon..

On the other hand more of the black one

[thumperslaw]

So been thinking for days about how I hide the ecu!
It's so big it's hard... None the less I welded some tabs on to make it float above the battery





Plus I got new project to
