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
decided to cut off the rear section for a few reasons and behold it is very good
ust mounts welded
rear sets adapters mockup, just a mock up
feels comfortable
zorst flanges from stainless
a runner mock up, noticed it runs too close to the frame tubes, taken into concideration
