I'll try posting a pic of the tank. When this was taken it was still being polished.

I love the look of the new cap on the old tank. It really looks nice.

How did you add a gas cap like that to the tank ?? Can you list parts/years to use??

[Billy Ricks]

With all the interest in suspension upgrades this thread deserves a sticky along with Katman's build that is stuck in the archives.

[Ogri]

I agree...... This thread helped me out alot.

It's fairly complete. My son moved to Conneticut and took his dirt bike and most belongings but didn't have room for it then.

We decided to leave it with me and let me keep working on it. Right now I'm adding a Ducati Monster fairing. The dual headlights I used earlier may not be part of the final design. I would like to keep them, but who knows.

I also had the seat recoved earlier and don't like how it looks with the new tank and overall theme of the bike. I essentially have narrowed the seat down to 2 choices - Sargents and Corbin. Corbin doesn't make a seat and needs the bike there, so Sargents may be the one.

It has clipons onstalled now, but I am also revisiting this decision.

Short story, Matt left the bike so that I could refine it. We both like it now, but it can (and will) be better.

There are plenty of great articles on bikes out there. I'm just hanging back a bit and watching others build right now. I'll post some pics later if there is still interest.

I love Katmans bikes and Ogri has done a wonderful job. (There are many others also, just that those 2 come to mind right now)

Check back on this thead at page 10 or so. I went into it a bit there. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
