Some measuring and cutting and it's getting close to the final shape, so how about some feed back there is still a little room for change.

Give it a hugger and some decent mudguards !

I was thinking the tank looks a bit bulky still, but I don't want to reduce fuel volume and I do like it, so "this is the shape", I can start the final welding and fitting the base of the tank.

The harley threaded fuel cap boss arrived but I won't weld it in till the cap arrives and I have checked they work together.

The fairing is all paid for so hopefully it will be here by the end of next week.

The front guard is the sv item with just some excessive front overhang removed.
The rear is just missing the swing arm mounted plastic shock shield and sprays much less than many bikes with high tails.

Yes, now isn't the time to be reducing the size of fuel tanks !

I believe Alex is in the States so I don't suppose the fuel supply issue we have here in good old Brexit Britain is having much impact on him.
