just an update. got the tires in and rolled her out for some air and sunshine. I'll get my parts for mikes today and i needed her to have tires so i can get the motor on this weekend. i have a few surprises for you folk in the form of some custom add-ons I'm doing. as soon as I'm done with them I'll post pics and (maybe)directions  I have to finish my rims
(cleaning, painting) i had to use the mag instead of the spokes due to back rim problems. but i think I'll survive.

oh! hell yeah that's the color i saw on it when i first got it. i have fenders to match but i'm not running them for a while. also the motor mounts are the same  and i'm glad to see someone else knows it olive drab instead of green. military are we?
thanks luke

I have Finally finished my tank for the most part i've been working on this for a little bit and trying to keep my progress off here ( i wanted to present her complete) wanted to keep it on the low, right  we all know these are not my original ideas or anything. but i have bought all part at the hardware store and my buddy welded it. i put body filler around the reducing bushings and tried to put a half-ass paint job for pics. i plugged the petcock
hole and installed a ball valve with internal screens at the bottom right corner and of coarse a fuel sight gauge. i run out of gas ALOT  
so it seemed like a natural fit. i wrapped YES the whole exhaust pipe without about 8" at the back. and as you may know the brass kick pedal .
now to complete the wiring , due to welding i didn't want anything to go wrong with the electrical. a few touch ups on the frame and here and there and we'll be back to the road
Sorry about the pic size, i'm unable to operate my pc properly

That fuel sight is a really clean application of a neat idea!
Not sure what your plans are for final paint, but that bike would tits in butter ivory with some deep red graphics, imho.
