      though, for the size of the bike and espec the tank and the engine i *think* i'd like to see something a bit bigger. maybe...

      anyhow, i think I see a front mudgard being fabricated soon
      About size things, when the bike is finished everything should "flow"
      better together.

      I try to made the front mudguard before christmas.

        Yes it is. It?s Green air filter and why? Because I have one left from other project.
        Thats why the project name Scraps racer. I try to use as much old parts as I have in
        my garage.

              VERY nicely done! The proportions are just right. Sure you won't do a tank and seat for me?

                That bike is looking fantastic! You do excellent work.
                It almost looks like you are getting some help from Mindless in Sweden.



                Also love the dual mufflers! It looks "right."

                              The proportions of the tank and seat to each other seems right and again those two pieces seem right towards the size of the bike.
                              Exactly,
                              That first pic of the tank I thought it was a bit big.
                              But once it's all together it looks.. right.


                              Blower, the whole thing looks great. Just bloody fabulous.

                                Agreed. Tank looks awesome. Man I'm impressed. Wish I had half the skills you got. I might have missed it but you decided on a paint scheme yet?

                                Yes it is. It?s Green air filter and why? Because I have one left from other project.
                                And yeah, I was thinking of something similar for my carbs (single pod attached to the carb boot) when I ran across your post. I really like that look.
