Mate you really know your stuff, i am really impressed! I so wish i had the skills of you and others on the forum but to me it will have to remain witchcraft! Lol
Thanks for the compliments. Let us all praise Harley for inventing vrod headlight because it is the only one fitting perfectly for buell IMO. Vrod mount was not what i wanted and didn't want any brackets in my gold forks so I made bottom mount conversion
Next I could show my magic oil tank. I think some of you wants to see it 😉

I planned to do harley style cylinder type oiltank, like this...
Nononono 🤔 Like this...
But large hand came from the sky and forced little wisdom in my fat head 😶 Oiltanks place is not there, its far from it. It is front of the primary cover. First I made mockup bracket
Then real one from 12mm steel
Then I started to form actual tank from steel sheet
That oil tank is pretty dam clever!
You related Mr Erik Buell?
You keep impressing me more and more every time you post pics of your build. Extremely nice work, your tig and fab skills are brutally impressive. Your engineering game is bar none as well. Way to go man, can't wait to see what you get into next.
Thanks, you know that contractive criticism is allowed also I'm pretty pleased for results because this my first motorcycle. This buid has been nice trip and it has taught me so much. Machining and tigwelding are just couple of the things I've learned during the process. So how about some flying hot metal chips I milled the upper tripple flat and used Renthal fatbar clamps
Welding made it look like crap but finish was smooth. More flying aluminum chips cause I turned cup for the tachometer. I wanted one big round gauge kind of cafe racer style and original tacho was perfect for it. Results...
Then rest of the parts and some welding
