got a couple updates here!
so I decided to use a peanut tank cause I like the look and don't necessarily plan on going cross country with the bike. well checking the fitment on it showed the petcock was right on the frame so what do you do? obviously cut the frame and turn it in right?
after I got that all squared away I bought some inch and a 1/4 wide by 1/4 inch thick tube for my hardtail, figured that would be strong enough seeing as I only weigh 180 on a bad day.
and just today I got my tank mounted and started to figure out mounting my seat.
not too shabby if I do say so myself.
ive been kinda going back and forth on paint scheme, I think for this year im just going to paint it all black and next year seeing as it is a Honda I am going to go with a repsol paint scheme!
couple questions what batteries do you use? I would like to run a somewhat smaller one seeing as all I will have to power is my headlight and tail light, how do you run an analog oil pressure gauge, and what is a good speedometer? I cant use the stock one seeing as it has been radically regeared for torque! do I run an expensive ass gps one? or can I run one off of my tach?? thanks Andrew.
