I havent decided how Im going to do the weldon section yet, But Im thinking of making a removable 1 1/2" tube close to the engine, and cut the 2 down tubes off at the motor mount. Then I could stick a oil tank where I want.
If anyone has the mid peg supports for this bike, please email me. The forward are to far away for me.

This project is taking longer than I thought, but I really didnt do much in the summmer. I need to finish some wiring, run oil lines, order pipes and a few other small parts, set timing, ect.
I couldnt resist putting some parts on early to see what its going to look like. :D

Looking good! Good choice on the gas tank and the oil tank. Drag bars are hot. I like it.
