Beautiful ......

Work of art for sure! Keep it in the living room.

That is a work of art, pure and simple, fantastic! I also wish I had skills like that.

Those are actual gas tanks. No sealer inside. It?s quite easy to weld gas tight welds if keeping aluminum and rods clean during welding.

The project bike is ready and tested:

I would give my left kidney for that if i still had it... Wish i had your metal fab skills.

Superb! You should submit it for Bike of The Month. http://thegsresources.com/botm_add.php

You are one heck of a craftsman.... Beautiful work. Hardly recognizable as an 1150, but im good with it.

Great metal work!
Are those actual gas holding tanks, or just covers?
Looks like you may have an English Wheel to do that level of smooth metal forming.
Great!

I have been with the Dalton Timmis[Aviva] vintage program for 7 or 8 years and pay $438.00 a year for the CBX.
Full coverage but limited to 4,000 kms a year and an appraisal is required.
I know State Farm has been doing vintage bikes for at least a year but they usually want your house and car in a package.
I would check with both of them.

Turned out great, Shadow.
Did you do the seat upholstery as well?
Inquiring Canadian minds need to know. What are you doing about insurance?

The seat is the only thing I didn't do myself. The wife of a friend of mine does boat and snowmobile seats... it was her first bike seat.
I've got my other bike with TD Meloche Monnex, but they flat out refuse to insure a bike more than 30 years old, so I'm shopping around. I've only got one insurance quote so far. $579 for liability only.
