Re: My 56 build

curious where on the fender you decided to mount the filler. too low will make you need a snickers at the gas station because it will take fuel really slow and burp back a lot.

It’s going to be neat the top of the fender. Close to where the cap is sitting in post 151. The pipe going through the box side is a 45.

Finished the filler tube and the gas cap. Cap turned out or good. I put it in the corner because the cap is convex and will blend in to the fender. Also mounted the roll over valve/breather. The last picture is looking up under the fender.

Re: My 56 build

Also spent some time on the roll pan. Changing the sides to flow with the fenders. Still have to finish welding the right side and make the left. Stopped early today because my heater quit working. Was only in the 20’s today with 3 inches of snow. Hopefully I won’t need the heater again until fall... hopefully

Nice work! Love the flow of the roll pan and wish I had done the filler!

Re: My 56 build

Thanks SG

Spent some more time on the roll pan. Thought I had it all set until I looked down on it. The side angles are different. This has left the pan with a twist. Not sure how I’m going to fix it yet. I have a couple of ideas... time to sleep on it

I like your choice of gas cap. I bought mine at the local Harley Davidson shop.

Nice! I bought mine on eBay. It’s also a motorcycle cap.
