Re: Long Time Coming......

The final thing to do before I remove the bed was make a fuel fill tube to connect the fill cap and the gas tank. I purchased a few pieces of 2.25" mandrel bent tubing for this.

A look up into the rear fender......


I then started with this piece of tubing.....


And working my way down to the rubber connection hose.....



After tacking it together I pulled it out and welded it solid all the way around....



And finally for now it is installed and tacked to the filler cap base. I then made a supporting rod to help hold it and keep the weight of it from just being supported by the fill cap.
