Took a little break on my America, which turned into almost three years. Finally got motivated to finish it so I can ride it this summer.

I know this has been done now quite a bit, but I'd still like to think of myself as an innovator in custom Took the dash off, smoothed the tank and placed a recessed gas cap.

Sorry for the bad quality pictures, just had them sitting in my dark-lit office. Once the bike is back together I'll post some new pics.

Lookin really cool. I'd like to see it on the bike with some decent photos - it'll be stunning.


Cheers, Richard

Wow... nice job. So nice in fact that when the cap is recessed in almost looks capless! I like it!! Yeah, I'd say you're an innovator.
