SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

Its coming together nicely. You definately maximized the useful fuel capacity, I like that gooseneck filler. I like the seat mount, too, does that system give you good flex?

It's not to late for the tunnel dude.Better to do it now than regret not doin it after you paint.That being said...it does look good the way it is.I made my tensioner the same way.I'll be using mine for more of an adjuster than a tensioner.
