Frame and Body

I came across this photo recently whilst trawling through the japanese sites of the big WWW.
it shows the bracing added to a slabside frame in the way i plan to do mine
below you can see the difference between my un-molested frame and the differences in the top frame

I also found this picture of satoshi's 86 tt bike wich shows another style of tank yoshimura were experimenting with - it has a small aircraft fuel cap welded toward the bottom and a large recess put in place at the top so the rider can get his chin down and  really tucked in to the bike.

I really like this tank
