Skip the last two photos unless you like to look at ugly welds


"Thanks for keeping me safe dad."
-Moyou
That face!
 Needs brazed...I'm scared I might blow through the thin tank metal where the leak is..
 Ugh...

Monday night

Dinner and a movie....
I meant dinner and lathe.....

Secret sauce?
No, not really
Mmm...Seitan......
 Doesn't look as good as it was.......
I could eat this every night
 These eyes kill me
My little horse
She can always tell what is going on in my head
 "You are not following protocol!"
-Moyou
Preparing for the sissy bar
4.5mm wide 6mm I.D. spacers to welding it to
Hope I have time to clean up some welds...
..and start taking care of this ugliness tomorrow.

Tank mounted

 After the tab was made I couldn't wait...
I was going to take it to Kyle to Tig it but...

Back to the red tank for now
The fuel tap position is more conducive to the engine position
Tapped and cleaned it this morning
Tab cut, bent, cleaned up
Under tank
Prep
Play
Post test weld 
My brother always said most of the time spent welding is in the prep
Moyou agrees

 Tapped the frame instead of welding in the bung
These old Ariel frames have thick tubing.....
Still needs cleaned up and a leak tacked up
Next is the sissy bar and tail/brake lights 
Next two weeks?
3-360's

Vintage Bike Night Oct.

Steer Inn October 2012.


Love these handlebars....



Yes, this is a Whitey swingarm.







Just Tim and I tonight.
Rally'd a bit.

I need a new side cover with a better shifting mechanism.  
Oil spitter.

A tire change and some night shots.

Got the new white wall in from Jegs and put everything back together.  
No more wobble!
The struggle.


The help.
Thanks for the tire iron help, C.

Night shot Benly.

Night shot Pony.
New tank, carb, and air filter coming soon.
