Hey Cuff, i know this may be kind of old but what did you use to make your rear section? is it just aluminum cut and then curved, looks cool, I love the simplicity of this bike. I have found the inspiration for my build.

love this build.
Is your tank bare metal and oiled, or painted clear?

Thank you very much, always nice to get a compliment. The tail section is an advanced polymer that can only be moulded by the most skilled of craftsmen. I like to call it 5 gallon paint can, plastic of course. Had an old one lying around the shop so I tried a quick cut job to get some dimensions and it fit great. Threw some paint on it and it's been that way ever since.
ps. Don't tell anyone about my secret. :lol:
As for the tank rcarver just bare metal. No oil, polish or clear. I was looking forward to some patina (rust) and hit it with clear but it's taking too long. This spring I might try a recipe of hydrogen peroxide, mustard and ammonia. We'll show some picks good or bad results.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I was just too proud of some new seat work. Also, put back the floor boards, for a while at least.

Thanks Leon. It's going to take some time to get the steel to match though.
