Default vintage cr 750 gas tank

Hello ladies and gents,
James here from tucson,
I joined this community to share my adventures in restoring vintage metal working machines and motorcycles and to learn more about shaping and welding aluminum and titanium.
I have reams of it and need to make something of it. My immediate goal is to fabricate a honda cr 750 race bike gas tank as the men who are building these are getting older than me and retiring for good. Need to carry on the legacy before it dies.
Thanks
James

Hi James, have you checked out the Hand Built motorcycle show? It's fairly close to you. I didn't hear about it until it was over or I would have gone.

I'm hoping to go next year if it's still going on.
