Chaz, I repositioned the handle bars in the 12 o'clock position, the way you advised. It got dark by the time I finished the work today, but here are some pics in the dark...






Thats just some smoke from my cigar in this pic.

 

And here is some pics of my gas cap. It used to be brushed aluminum, which really didn't go with the bike. I rusted and burnished it, and then clear coated it.







It goes well with the bars now...



I aged the brass grips too...



And I'm figuring out a way to fab these old floorboards to fit on my bike...

 

I really like that gas cap, looks really good!!

 

that's some innovative work. bike looks great!

 

Cool! You have done great stuff with that bike!

 

Thanks. I wish the pics did the gas cap justice though. The reflection of the light in all the pictures makes it look a little different than it does in real life, but you guys get the idea.

 

C.Numb, i have a bunch of friends that live in Rockaway N.J., are you anywhere near there? once my bike is done and if its not to cold i was gonna ride up. i'd love to see yor bike in person!

 

Sure! I'm about 1/2 hour east of Rockaway. Just let me know.

 

Nice! if not soon then def. in the spring! i'll let you know brother!
And again love that bike !!!!!

 

Great work. Coming to this thread a little late. Did you have to have NYC weld that gas cap on? I noticed Shade Tree has some interesting caps, as well. Lookin good!
