Progress on the Twin Cam

Worked a little on the Twin Cam here in the shop today.  The place is a mess, I don't care, I was in the groove today!  

Modded a stock style sportster tank.  Removed the stock mounting brackets, added blind hole bungs to the bottom of the tank, and used these style mounts to attach it to the frame.


Used a few bungs from LowBrow, and some of my own.  I needed a smaller bung for the rearmost mount of the tank, so I sp




You can find these sweet brackets from the good folks over at LowBrow Customs


 I cut those down to length, weld them to the frame where needed, and mounted up the tank.  Basically, 4 of the above tabs are welded to the frame, and the tank will sit right on top of them.  Stupid simple design, and a very clean view from the top of the bike.  Sorry, I somehow missed the pics, but you folks are creative, so just imagine what it looks like... 






It was a long night in the shop, but a good one.   Hoping to get this thing fully mocked up with pipes, starter, battery, etc.. in the next few weeks.  Stay tuned....
