Maybe I missed it somewhere, but why do you have 2 fuel flaps?

Super build btw!

the fuel tank is forward now where you would find the toolbox, so i had to find a way of getting fuel in the tank, hence another opening and another flap, ive mounted mt radiator inside my legshield toolbox

ive got the inside of the legshields painted, i have also painted my left runner board as it had a few rust issues, front mugduard needs some work as well, its slowly turning into a restoration.

finished off the painting, ended up doing the front mudguard, legshields and both rear runners and toolbox door, ive fitted the rear hub and rim, flywheel cover and exhaust, legshields and mudguard half done

Getting there now looks good how have you mounted the tank as your Mutch further over from the normal centre bracket

i picked up a bracket at a car boot that clamps around the tube and has a bolt on each side to tighten it up, then welded a plate to that that has a tank rubber on each end so the straps go around my new bracket and the old mountings, which i bolted some extensions to, its nice and solid but sits on rubber to absorb any vibrations

nice i can see the straps i just wondered what you had fixed it too i love coming up with solutions

Lookin' good Holty, but... what's the fan shroud for?
