    My seat mounts are all tacked together, I plan on burning the front on tonight. Im going to wait on the final position of the rear mount till I get my fender. I bought some sissor style 3.5" springs last night also. the 2" ones I had were not tall enough. I bought a 5" wide Peak fender. I found a picture from somewhere else but this is what it will be similar too.

    Update? I have to admit, your progress on these builds makes me a bit jealous. You married? Have kids? Wait, don't answer that--the answer won't help me no matter what it is, lol. Keep up the good work.

    My favorite part of the build is the Hodaka tank! Spent lots of hours riding Hodakas!

    You know from working with it how tough that tank is. My POS ex brother in law has one from his Super Rat hanging in his workshop. The interesting part of the tank is that his nut prints are in the tank from when he hit a tree, the bike stopped, and he didn't. Two nice dents right where the tank starts to slope down in back. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy!!! He went on to father three kids so I guess the tanks are not as tough as they look. Wish I'd been there when it happened!
