Looks really good, I'm liking the tank shape now, kind of reminds me of the Suzuki goose tank.
Reverse cone megaphone is pure café too. Don't know how much of a faff it would be to incorporate but have you considered fitting a nice traditional steel tube 'old stylee' twin shock swing arm? That would really be the 'icing on the cake' Nice job.

Been making a pattern for the inside shape for the new tank, also pick up some shield gas for the job.

I was working out fuel capacity and a conservative estimate is about 12-13 litres.

I can live with that but I hope it's a bit more when all done.

Still welding the tank but for my birthday the family are chipping to buy a cafe racer style fairing.
This is the one I have chosen.

Looking forward to seeing this when it's all together Alex.

Been replacing the duct tape sides on the tank so I have more idea how it's going to look blending the Honda NSR tank to the SV frame shape. I think is going well and will look really unique.

Bit of a tangent, but what's the red car tucked away in the background of some of the pics Alex?
