Looking good, I always thought that it shouldn't be too hard to put a bigger tank on.  As far as your coils, is there not enough room to mount a dual unit (the Dyna is pretty compact) forward as it seems I remember the tank being clearanced where the brake master cylinder sits.

I don't know how big, or what shape the Dyna is, so it may fit on the frame towards the front of the tank. I actually am thinking about mounting the coils in plain view. One on each side under the seat. I don't mind mechanical portions being seen as long as they look appropriate in their location. Time will tell [smiley=beatnik.gif]

Wow almost 3 years now eh ?? Embarassing :-/ Anyway, after 3 attempts at making the seat/rear fairing I finally decided to take a class from a metal shaping guru and get it done right. Since this is what I do for a living I could more easily justify the cost, plus it was a tax writeoff I ALMOST got the steel one done, I just have some minor fitment and welding left to do. I am not happy with how the tailight turned out. My original plan couldn't come to fruition due to the metal being stretched almost to it's limit. I wanted a greater slope in the rear and to have the talight only about 1/2 recessed ( see pic with wooden buck)  The aluminum one will be finished as I find time and will NOT have the tailight recessed at all, I will also rivet it together instead of welding it. I think it will look a lot better that way.
