Matching helmet
Since the peanut tank turned out so well, I figured I could make my Fulmer V2 helmet match.
Current state of affairs
Well it seems that all things must change and this includes my bike.
I purchased a vintage springer and before I installed it I noticed that the coffin tank had a pinhole leak. While it was off being fixed i figured I would install the springer with the TS185 21" front wheel.
Once the tank was back I quickly realized that I could not turn the bars. The springer is an inline unit which moved the back legs close to the tank so that I couldn't do anything.
So I kept my eye out for another tank. I also took 1.5" out of the centre of the coffin tank. It is at a friends for welding
I managed to score a vintage Wassel peanut tank. After a lot of masking and painting. Here she is as of now.
