My Spare Parts Project

Here's a couple things I've had made:
They all have the original part laying next to them.
Fuel tank mounts:
You've all seen this before:
It's the petcock mount.
And one of the rearsets that came with my superbike parts stash. I made a new one simply because I don't want to destroy the original if I wreck this bike, so the original is getting put back in it's box and put on a shelf.
I'm still working on other parts for this project. These are just some things my brother whipped up on his Bridgeport.

The Christmas holiday really didn't go as I had planned. My wife had agreed to leave me alone for the first part of last week so I could spend a couple days in the garage. Needless to say that didn't happen. :eye:
I did manage to get a couple things done though. I stripped the subframe to do the bare metal finish on the whole thing and when I got all the paint off I discovered a fair amount of corrosion. Here's the pictures of that:

So I had to back up a little. I bead blasted the subframe to remove the corrosion and started over on the finish. The good news was that the corrosion wasn't too bad to save the part. All that corrosion is only on the surface so it was an easy fix. I also received some of my titanium bolts.
Christmas for the fat kid::banana:
I also fabricated a crankcase vent tank for the bike ( this was done when I was helping CCM out with a part or two):

It's been a while since my last post, so let me update a little:
I have the other rearset in work:
almost finished:
These are spacers for the front fender that I made out of aluminum to replace the steel originals:

I had to use a thicker piece because the rearset has multiple contours to it and it's over 5/8" wide when you measure it overall. That piece was the thinnest piece I had that was thick enough to work.
