Flea market finds

I went to the local flea market today. It's hit or miss at this one. I got some killer gear today. 2 vintage open faced helmets for a $1 each. Vintage H.D risers/bars set up with internal throttle and clutch. They're kinda beat, someone took a good spill with them. I'll put them in the future project box. I scored some sweet cowboy boots , brand new and in my size. Pretty rare that that happens. I also scored a reusable air horn for my neighbors dog that doesn't stop barking. Maybe the horn will shut him up. If not it will atleast be funny.

My first attempt at sectioning a gas tank. Not the easiest job. I got this Hap Jones banana tank. it looked too weird in the back and top. so i cut it up and got my shite weld on. I made it as narrow as i could. it looks rad from the back. i still need to finish it. Sweet peanut tank. polished front and rear brakes.

Rollin

She is a roller!! Finally got the short hardtail on. I scored a NOS Wassell peanut tank in real good shape. I got some stock fork tubes from the Brit swap meet a couple weeks ago. Then shortened by -2.5 under. Avon Speedmaster in the front and a Firestone in the back. Some vintage Fanders bars.
Polished trees, polished brakes. I filled all the holes in the frame. There was a ton.
Just waiting on the oil tank, rear fender and seat and mounting tabs.

60's sportster hub/brake with some holes. I might have gone too far on this one.
