Room for one more image so here you can see the bronze oil tank that I designed and my brother Grant built and engraved with my Skull Leaf Clover Irish Cycles logo. Thanks to pops David Irish who machined the vented cap and filler neck for the tank.

OK I finally rounded up all of the photos that I have. I'll post them in order that they were taken which will show the different looks. The only real differences are the gas and oil tanks. Later I changed some other bits also. So here goes...
This is in my driveway while I was still tuning the carburetor and ignition and sorting the clutch and linkage for the clutch.
- This is June '06 with the bronze tank. I was engraved on top with my cyclhed logo, a skull with wings, no not HA! I need to find a picture. The tank is still around somewhere.

- The gas and oil tanks were made with silicon bronze sheet metal with brass caps and bungs. They had a bronze and green colored patina applied to them and then they were waxed. The gas tank looked cool, if a bit crude, but proved to be too heavy.

I switched over to the original steel sporty frisco tank because the bronze tank was too heavy and broke the mounts off the frame! I also switched back and forth between the bronze and steel oil tanks when one would spring a leak and I'd have to weld it.

I thought I would finally finish adding the last pictures of my CBH Old School Chop. This is the final version of the motorcycle with the black paint, white flames and red striping.
