so for today, I started the bike using the old tank and it sounds good. I took out my orbital sander and did the tank the way I had planned. had this pic saved on my photobucket for some time, its on billy lane's panhead, this is his back fender
I was not going to do it the same color but it was already red and I only had green spray paint

swapped out the fork since it needs a rebuild and I won't have time, so the other one works well and will have to do for now.
made a light bracket to replace the old one. gotta dress it up a little, but you get the idea. I haven't decided on the size headlight I'm gonna run.

now you cant tell us it sounds good without a video clip of her running.
btw the best way i found to weld pipes is brazing with the oxy/acet torch. did a set on my quad with a cl360 motor in it like that and never had an issue.
i never cleaned it up and i used fence post (burning/welding galvinized is never a good idea, unless yer in a well ventalated area). but it isnt a show quad, just a buggy for rippin around on

I agree about TIG for doing pipes but I've also done them with my MIG, just have to be carefull. Burning/welding galvanized pipe can be deadly, not just stinky. When that zinc burns off it's putting out fumes that will kill you if exposed too long, ventilation or not.
