Yeah, I like his stuff. If he sold a similar tank to fit the Thruxton at that price, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I've been checking out his stuff for quite some time(before my thrux I had a couple of 70's hondas). He primarily works on old hondas, they're a good cheap starting platform, but he has done a few older triumphs as well. He's got a great sense of style, and is definitely worth checking out. He sells completed projects on ebay from time to time under the name oreoexileflippr.

He's got a new tank, listed on eBay.



Here's the auction if you want so see more pics:

Anyone know where this guy lives? Care to loan him your bike so he could start making us some Triumph tanks? I think someone should remind him that people who buy old CB750s to cafe are poor, but we Triumph owners are rich (tongue firmly in cheek).

nah, that's more like a cb550. similar shape in front, but not as narrow in back.
