I'll chime in- Nice Job!
If I remember right, the tank is a rattle can job?
I'm guessing that the quarter is welded into the cut end of the frame; looks like you used a short piece of perforated angle stock as a cross brace there under the seat. You know that it is illegal to mis-use American currency, right?

I like the indicator lights in the headlight bucket. I'm curious about the fenders.

Yep rattle can all the way. I welded a washer to the open frame ends, then JB welded the Quarters on. It was one of those "What the hell, this might look kinda cool." moments. Since the quarters aren't being used for currency anymore, I should be fine.
The cross brace is actually a section of square perforated street sign pole. it provided the space for the hidden rear fender mounts.
Both fenders are from an 81' KZ1100 shaftie. (thanks dgiardina) Chopped the front, and left the rear mostly stock.
Thanks for the kudos Nevan.

I like it too, looks fun. Maybe chop down the pipes a little too? Anyway nice job, have fun riding.

I dig it. I love the shortened look.
I just hope people can see your taillight, what with it pointing to the sky and all....

I like the indicators as well, and ESPECIALLY the white-face gauges. They a bolt on?? Where you get them?

Yeah, I eventually want to get a set of MAC 4-2's with turn out mufflers. I think that will help complete the look.

The taillight is very visible. It is a LED set up, so it's pretty bright from all angles. I made sure of that before I decided on that set up.

I have to thank caffcruiser for the gauges. A budd of mine bought them from him for his bike, but ended up getting a new bike, so he sold them to me. Had to modify the mounting tabs, but they are bolted to the stock location.
The indicator lights are LED's from a boat shop. Wired them in to the factory connectors to keep eveything clean and simple inside the bucket.
