Thanks for the interest all. It should be interesting, I hope. The painted parts are due by the end of the month. Not bad?
Here are more answers to some of the general questions I'm getting:
The tank from what I understand is hand made aluminum.
The side panels Takashi said were aluminum but from some of the pictures I've found, I think they are fiberglass? Find out in 3 weeks.
The side panels are only sold with the tank? We couldn't figure that one out as they are priced seperate. I tried to get a black set after I found a picture of them on a bike with a stock tank.
The seat and the tank have to go together, mix and match won't work. WH makes the K10 style in 2 heights and K&H makes a mid-height 1 choice. I did ask about a checker board stitch but they don't do that.

Ordering was done mostly by finding pictures and links then asking Takashi if he can get the stuff. The WH link isn't much help, Takashi calls these places most of the time.

Keep the ?'s coming, I'll do my best before referring to the expert, Takashi.
