Last night I finally had time to get some stuff done on the bike again, I´ve been away at work for a week so the fingers were itching bad from being away from the tig welder and mill for so long.
I got a new gas lens kit for the tig torch which I intended to try out while finishing off the fuel tank mounts.
Two aluminum brackets were made to fit as the front mounts on the tank.
The patient is laying down and ready for surgery!
The gas lens was an improvement, not bad since it only cost me a couple of bucks on Ebay.
Here the mounts are in place and the tank is cooling down after welding.
While waiting for the tank to cool down I made a pair of steel brackets for the frame.
Fixing everything for welding, finally I will get rid of the last strap!
The tank in place, the only things left to do on the tanks are to weld some brackets to the side of the tanks that the oil suction hose will be strapped to and make a fitting on top of the oil tank for the gearbox oil drain.
Cheers!
