I will cut and shape the lower tail frame so it smooths out better, then sheet metal it in and begin paint prep. Almost done.

Stripped the tank bare and put a fresh three coats of BLVD Black on, followed by three coats of clear. A little wet sanding with 2000 and a quick polish in a few days and it will be solid.

The right side is the same as the left without the fuel access.

With the tank on for the final fit. I cut the rear as well and ran all tubes so they flow the same lines forming a double V or chevrons, if you will, for the lower portion of the frame.

Working the filler is a long process and the sanding is labor intensive. But it is looking as planned and when the paint goes on, the lines will flow very nicely.

Finally got paint and clear on the frame after all the body work and endless sanding. Happy with the results and shape of the bike.

Close it all in with whatever welding ability you have or prefer. I only had my MIG with flux core available this weekend due to a faulty regulator. So it was spot welds. Ugly, but effective.

Getting the rear to curve was a little tricky, but the end result was where it needed to be to maintain the lines of the bike. A little filler to smooth it out and it will be great. Going all metal also means that any damage can be repaired pretty ea...
