Re: Maz's FZ750 Project
I designed the gas tank a while ago and even started making a mock-up in cardboard just to check I had the shape right but I was taken ill before I got round to cutting any steel....
Anyway, tonight I got busy with the 9inch disc cutter and my metal folder and here is the progress so far....
Main part of rear section marked and cut out.... first folds done..... trying it for a fit (best Darth Vader impersonation) before trying it in the frame..... trying it in the frame...... tomorrow I should get the next section cut out and folded and then I can start tacking them together.....

- SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Re: Maz's FZ750 Project
Interesting look to it, and nicely fills the void between the frame members. Got more coming for the front?

Re: Maz's FZ750 Project
And, I'm noticing that the flat surfaces on your frame make it easier to join and attach members and mounts.
Or seems so to me at least. What do you think? Does this work better than round tube?
Seems coping is likely to be a little easier than on the round tube.

Re: Maz's FZ750 Project
Thanks Bob, and yes there is more coming for the front, there will also be a space under the front for the induction system and coils etc.....I've marked and cut out the main front top piece and there's a pic below of me making the aperture for the filler cap - using the original Yammy aircraft style filler..... more progress (and pics) soon......railroad bob wrote:Interesting look to it, and nicely fills the void between the frame members. Got more coming for the front?
Yes it does make it easier to attach brackets etc but with some of the angles, coping becomes a complete nightmare and has to be done manually as there is no way of using a holesaw or anything similar to form the cutouts....like I've said before, I always do stuff the hard wayrailroad bob wrote:And, I'm noticing that the flat surfaces on your frame make it easier to join and attach members and mounts.
