The rear filler cap on the left fueltank is actually
the oil filler cap, the oilfilter is hidden
between the two tank halves, oil goes in the frame. That
nice little leather seat is
from a Belgian Flandria motorcycle, the mini headlight came from the
same bike

Here Fred has taken the bike off the table to try out
the seating position, check out the
offset on the front primary sprocket! This is necessary to get the rear
chain around
that big fat rear Metzeler, the gearbox is also mounted in an offset
position.

The fueltanks are looking better and better, did you
ever notice the uneven gap between
two stock Harley Fatbob tanks? If you compare that to Fred's homemade
fueltanks his
work is a lot more precise! In the picture on the right you can see
how Fred uses
cardboard templates to determine the correct
dimensions for the frameplates.

In case you were wondering where the taillight is, it's
hidden in the rear stand!
The cardboard templates for the frameplates have been copied in aluminum,
Fred uses an open primary chain, works with the classic style of the
bike.

Here you can see how Fred has started building the stainless
steel exhaust pipes,
both pipes consist of two separate pieces connected by small springs
so they can
easily be disconnected, but more on that later...........
