Got back in the shop (well, Gene’s shop) to start customizing my spare gas tank. Mods on tap:
- Shave stock dash and smooth top of tank.
- Move gas filler forward and right, utilizing a Harley filler bung.
- Fuel sight gauge on the left side.
I’ve got a brushed aluminum monza-style flip up gas cap from NYC Choppers for the new tank. The indicator lights from the dash will be moved to a new mini speedometer mounted up on the bars, with a matching mini tach.
Gene’s doing the metal work and welding while I’m doing all the grunt work, cutting, flanging, templating, etc. He’ll be squirting the paint and I’ll be doing the other grunt work, filling and sanding.
