    Turned out great, Shadow.
    Did you do the seat upholstery as well?
    Inquiring Canadian minds need to know. What are you doing about insurance?

      The seat is the only thing I didn't do myself. The wife of a friend of mine does boat and snowmobile seats... it was her first bike seat.
      I've got my other bike with TD Meloche Monnex, but they flat out refuse to insure a bike more than 30 years old, so I'm shopping around. I've only got one insurance quote so far. $579 for liability only.

        I have been with the Dalton Timmis[Aviva] vintage program for 7 or 8 years and pay $438.00 a year for the CBX.
        Full coverage but limited to 4,000 kms a year and an appraisal is required.
        I know State Farm has been doing vintage bikes for at least a year but they usually want your house and car in a package.
        I would check with both of them.

              Great bikes! Really appreciate the work. Thanks for sharing.
              And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
              Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

                  Looks like you may have an English Wheel to do that level of smooth metal forming.
                  Great!
                  Those are actual gas tanks. No sealer inside. It´s quite easy to weld gas tight welds if keeping aluminum and rods clean during welding.

                  The project bike is ready and tested:

                    You are one heck of a craftsman.... Beautiful work. Hardly recognizable as an 1150, but im good with it.

                          That is a work of art, pure and simple, fantastic! I also wish I had skills like that.

                            Work of art for sure! Keep it in the living room.
