Hey 2WT - You gonna gussett the frame on the back half to the engine cradle to give it some extra strength? What is the swingarm from? Your project is looking pretty good so far and I like the tank cutouts. What color scheme you planning 'cause the bare metal looks pretty trick.
I just picked up an extra tank and bodywork set to swap with my current look. The extra set I am going to match to the stock '77 Custom paint to make my tweaked 650/810 into a real sleeper with the factory look when I go out hunting for a little......competition.

Sounds awesome
The front of the subframe where it mounts to the engine carrier is a really strong weld. This is a one person bike, so I only need it to hold me. It can, as of right now, hold me, another person and then a bunch of smacks to the back of the subframe with a BFH without any problem. Plus, it doesn't hold all my weight... the footpegs will get some
The paint scheme was gonna be flat black, but I keep jumping betweek that and a really nice metallic silver color for the tank. The frame will get powdercoated black or red, and the wheels will be polished.
I was gonna build a sleeper, but then decided not to. Might as well make it look like a killer!
