It's not my love of beer Ian (Well maybe a little. ) I'm trying to get fired from my job so I can have more time but it's not working....Lol My wife who is my boss just seems to put up with me. Truly though, this stuff take a lot more time than people realize. It gives you a real apreciation for other peoples prjects.(Like yours Ian.)

Jim brought the tank by my place for the open house. It is absolutely beautiful!

You'd think Jim would quit working for his wife and start a fabrication business of his own!

Thanks for all the great compliments guys. I'm very lucky to have some related background but without several of my friends help it wouldn't work.
Just finishing the tank mounts and I'll post that soon.

Nice work Jim! I remember looking at your pictures in Tweed last year and thinking, even with visual aids I still can't understand the process. The more I see, I realize the less I know. Now I want to sign up for a welding class at night school!

I always think the same when I see this stuff Adam, I have to learn to weld! From what I've been told, awesome hobby but a crappy job.

I think one of the things that's so cool here is that because Jim researches and thinks things through so well, he get's it right the first time. I know a few guys (me included!) who would have a dozen expensive door stops/paper weights trying to fab something like that!!

Just make lots and lots of card board proto types first before you take the plunge. That's my opinion. But then again, after my 1st glass tank, I had a tank builder make my fuel tank for me I still couldnt come close to this tank on Jims bike though. Some people have the skills, some, like me, just look on in awe. Nice work Jim
