XS650 Cafe Racer
The top of the tank has both knee cutouts welded in. The next steps are to, grind down the welds, stretch the heat affect zone (HAZ) areas and metalfinish the tank.
I managed to roll the tank tunnel as well. The results are pretty good.
I was stumped for a while trying to figure out how to roll the correct radius. A few emtpy apple juice cans provided the solution. I welded them together and rolled a piece of 16 gauge sheetmetal around it.
From the pictures you can see that the tunnel fits within the tank buck fairly well. The next steps are, weld the end cap on the one side (shorter side) and start the tank-to-tunnel fitment.
