Made a lollipop







And I started wrapping pipes.


Yeah I ran out :|


Oh, and I got all the little carb pieces I needed. 108 main, 68 needle jets. but usps lost my float bowl gaskets. I have the old ones so I can at least seal it.

Cool bike man! My girlfriend's sister just gave me an 82 nighthawk 650. I'm torn between chopping it up, or leaving it relatively stock cause they only made the sohc nighthawks in 82.

Chop it up, nothing's sacred

Got a little time to work on my bike today. Well the tank anyway.



Vented cap from bung king





I'm sealing it with KBS coatings tank sealer. I've heard nothing but good things about their products, and my grandfathers chevelles frame has been coated in one of their products and it's lasted for at least 5 years.

The kits in my truck, so hopefully I get to it tomorrow.

[Nicklepage1010]

Finally got around to deal up my tank. Plugged the bung holes in the bottom of the tank with bung plugs. Bung. Plugs.

Am I saying bung too much?

Now that everyone's uncomfortable, on to the pictures of said bung holes.



This is pretty much just dish soap



And this is just rustlick


All of the surface rust is gone


The zinc does weird shit to brass

[Nicklepage1010]

Starter button is on and ran through the neck


Also mounted my key switch in the electronics box I need to finish



Waiting on a set of cutoff valves and throwing away my HEI stuff in favor of a CBR F2 ignition

[Nicklepage1010]

ACVs came in
expensive little fuckers, but out with the old and in with the new I guess



I also brought my fusebox into the 21st century

I have the same exhaust, what did you do for the end piece?

[jmattsen]

im preparing myself to do a similar build when i get a house this winter and this thread answered alot of my quesions about hardtailing on a budget. im impressed with your ability to make identical bends using a trailer hitch.

any chance you have a build thread for your truck somwhere? that things bad ass. how much custom fabwork did it take to attach the ford cab to that frame?

[ScrapyardShift]

Woah what happened with this? Been over a year and nothing
