    Mate that looks great, and incorporating that into your paint job would be wicked indeed

      I'm sure what you have in mind will be better. But I have to say I really like the metal tank with the artwork... very edgy. Very rebellious and grungy. Keep up the great work.

      I ultimately want a more structural and taller sissy-bar/luggage rack combo on my 79 850. Probably will go just a bit shorter than what you have.

        It's just temporary while I'm getting the other tank finished up... I was just tired of looking at plain bare metal and I kinda wanted to try out a block style print to see what it would look like?

          Wow, how did I let this get pushed back 3 pages!? haha

          I've been really busy lately with work, but I've also been doing a lot of selling, swapping, buying... My '52 chevy has a new home now and I found this '74 xlh for CHEAP at a swap meet this weekend...



          But don't worry, I've got a lot I want to get done on my hoard of suzuki's before I start working on this old american machine.

            I think painting it just like that would be so cool!

              Mate that's too cool! That should be a fun job *after* the Suzuki's...

              Restore or custom?

                Restore is not so much a part of my vocabulary haha

                I'm going to see if I can get it running with a little electrical and carb work, and if it seems to be ok I may ride it like this for a little while. At least until I gather all the parts I need.

                        Nice one MLC!! That's certainly a change for her!

                        How's the Zuk going?

                        Good to see you posting too, wondered what you'd been up to...

                        I'm currently solving the ugly stock gauge problem on my 450
