Nice chrome tank Chris, is it going on this bike? It looks like the newer tanks,has the taller gas filler neck.
I like it, (the look )

Hey Ray, you are correct on both counts. The tank was originally on my 99 and the front rim is on backwards. The bike in the pics is not the bike I'm building, I'm just using it as my test bike and the brakes not hooked up. Was just using it to check out the new carrier rack. What do you think of the rack?
I really like this new rack. All steel, and just 45 lbs. It has a ramp and I can roll the bike onto it right from off the curb ( almost flush). Last year I rented a u-haul for Portland and that's $100 bucks a day. I can put one bike on the carrier and the other in the back of the van.
There's also a big James Dean Festival in Fairmount, IN. in Sept and I plan on going to that also. Chris
 
Sounds good Chris, and also the price. Keep us posted on your progress as well.

Quenton Auto Clutch Cover

I finally got to making my clutch cover for my special Quenton auto clutch! It actually came out better than I expected, however there is still some room to improve on this.
This was fairly simple to do. With a small cut-off tool I cut out the center of the cover and then with a drum sander, I cleaned out the cut out area and the outside of the cover I cut out. I picked up 4 stainless acorn nuts, 4- 1/4" bolts and a 1 ft. stainless steel strip cut into 4- 2 3/4 " strips
I'm hoping to have this bike mostly complete by the end of the weekend and should have final pics posted soon after the Portland show. More later.

Have a Great Independence Day Buddy!

Hey Ray, Happy 4th to you! Did you mean the cover or the whole bike? My motor could use some of your mad polishing skills!
I have no big plans this weekend as I devote all my time to finishing this bike. I'm taking a break right now so I thought it would be a good time to post a few pictures of my assembly to this point. I've done the paint and pinstriping myself so it won't be confused with being done professional, but it still looks okay.
I like to show as many angles in pics I post, for people who may be searching for specific info. I personally seach pics myself when I'm lookin for info on how something should go.
