Cool pic... I'm going to try either a drycell or gel battery. These can be placed on their side and come in smaller configs. Thanx for the advice.

Some pics








I need to braze in a dent on my tank before sending it out for PC. The rims have been PC black and have a small copper pin stripe on the rim walls. No pics yet (getting new rubber and bearings)

Now where did I leave my Visa.

Man im really digging the use of copper! I know it wasnt something they used, but for some reason it really throws some extra vintageness in there. VERY slick!

Thanks. I'm doing the same to the carbs. (at least the parts I can get away with anyway). I'll post pics as soon as they are finished.

Thanks everyone. Should be interesting once its complete. I'm having some issues as to what I should do with the seat portion of the frame. Thinking I might lob it off and start fresh.

Heres a pic of the sandblasted tank and frame. Soon to be sent off for SB and PC.
