thanks heaps mates, i like, too, how it's turned out with the old tank and old kaza's frame, never done it before, i mean bracing and knee cut-outs in a steel tank. must say that a steel sheet is easier stuff for shaping than ally just because its thinner

undertray/seat/toolbox combo (lol) mounts

[IMG


decided to cut off the rear section for a few reasons and behold it is very good

[IMG


ust mounts welded

[IMG


rear sets adapters mockup, just a mock up
feels comfortable

zorst flanges from stainless
