Café Hercules Build

[FC Zach]

We have finally decided to start on a cafe W2000 and we hope to have it completed for the DGRR.

The first major purchase was the Ducati 360 tank, it actually fits the bike quite well. Notice the tail mock up and the seat pan we had just started on.


After we came to a stopping point on the pan we then started on the tail section. It was a PITA building the "mold" (whatever you call it), it literally took hours to get this thing right and it fought the whole way.


Once we got a good and sturdy platform to form metal against we started torching the alloy and forming a shape. Here's our rough draft for today, hopefully we'll have it trimmed, smoothed, and ready for welding to the pan next week.


Here's a view of the pan showing how snug it is against the frame.
