Top Casting Trim Down

I'll be using one of Throttle Addiction's Narrow Frisco Sportster Tanks on this bike. The front tab was in the way of the speedo mount on the top casting though.  In fact, they both had to go.  So out came the grinder again.  The goal was to still leave as much of the stock parts of the casting on the frame as possible.  Metal finishing will be done later.

framewerk

like kraftwerk, but totally different.

fixing the gnarly 1/4" plate and tons o' weld that had been graciously deposited onto the neck of the 58 frame.....

at this point, just gonna take the plates out since the previous owner has confirmed the center tab of the original casting IS under the plates. From there.....well, we'll make it look alot prettier than it did when I took it home last week.
