Hi. Thanks for your comments. :)
Regarding the fenders fcreamer88. I had almost no experience with shaping or welding aluminum before I started with the fenders. In total I made 3 fenders. First one was scrapped during the welding process. Not the smartest way to learn how to Tig weld aluminum on 1,5mm (0,060") sheet. :lol: I worked on and off the fenders for a period, but I guess I used a week on them. If you know how to weld aluminum, you probably will save a lot of time.

Would love to do something with the propane tank, but when the tank is empty they replace it. We are not allowed to refill them here in Norway. :thumbdown:
The handle knob is a modified gear shift lever knob I found on ebay. Just had to mount it. :lol:

Great design and build execution !

Love the tongue box and enclosed A-frame !
They really help to set it apart from the usual.

Cheers,
