do you want Gilson or Wards? Wards are on e-Bay. [MENTION=44694]bikebudy[/MENTION] can probably make you a Gilson as he's done custom designs for my three.

It took over a month to get the bike back from the powder coater.

Got most of the parts now and starting to put it together.

Good Luck ! :thumbsup: and I'll be tuned in .

 

[chipper]

Now you can get this beauty rolling :thumbsup:

 

[oldsledz]

I am getting a little done almost every day now.
I have most of the small parts cleaned up and painted. One more wheel half to clean up then the wheels and new tires can be put together.

:thumbsup: It looks like the wait for powder coat was worth it! I sure like that tank mounting system.

 

[control4userguy]

I like the fact the tank & straps are not shot in the same color as the frame. One thing you may want to consider is relocating the seat so that it covers the trailing strap. It will look odd to have that partially showing since it is a contrasting color. The cap will look fine however.
