after shot of an inch removed out of the center. Now to narrow stock tail light bezel and lens! Should be cool as fuck! after welding of coarse. By the way My girlfriend called me a pussy because I was going to send the Tank out to SlimFab to have narrowed. Sounds like a challenge! Sorry Slim. See ya at born free. Something on this bike will be a custom piece from Slim!!!!

marked center with laser level. cut 3/4" from both sides. This is how it looks next to a stock tank. I'll hole saw out the old gas filler area and make a patch piece to weld in and then move the new filler bung to the crown of the tank. (don't mind the fucking mess in the back ground! constantly moving shit around in this damn garage.)

Yammy project.

This is my latest project. 1980 Yamaha XS650. Sporty forks, spool 21" up front. harley 16" out back. Avon rubber. Custom hardtail frame with 2" stretch. Mocked up. Stay tuned on this one. Gonna make this one wild!

I scored an old springer from years gone by from my buddy Wade Braggs, guitar player in the band "the lucky cheats" out of Vegas for the sum of $20. that's right...20 bucks! Thanks Wade!

We chopped off about 8" off the bottom to bring it down to level. Added a 21" spool wheel and some t-bars i had laying around and the front was done. The top tree was missing so after a little figuring Mike came up with the top tree. New Avon rubber for and aft. Powder coated the frame. above is a mock up.
