street racer frame with fresh welded in and primered seat mounts.

The idea here is lightweight. The regulator is mounted under the seat as well, through the two small holes.

Hope I did this right.

Ok, so I went on a 3 day streak and pretty well finished the bike. I need some clearcoat, and some paint on that tank.

aybe I'll leave the "Enfield" logo on just to upset the enfield guys and to keep everyone that sees it guessing.
