Hey man.
It was a 250 gal #2 oil tank, cut in half length-wise and then shortened a bit.
Yeah, we're wicked crafty on the cheap up here!
So, there was a Jeepster in the garage. Here is his 47 CJ.
But, keep those lonely bikes coming SKT.........

I have an '83 Honda CM450C that needs parts. Instead of trying to buy the individual parts, I just bought a "barn find". The PO rode this bike for about 6500 miles and then parked it literally in the barn for the next 30 years.

My apologies for the blurry pic



and here's the engine



And here's the exhaust system



And one of Rachel Ray preparing to engage in vegetable abuse. Why? Just because...
