Dick's Street Tracker

[SWLXS650]

Ya pain to weld. When I notched the left side of the tank to make it clear the engine mounts it overlapped the original petcock hole, so it was completely welded up. I welded a pipe thread bung in the right side further back from original location. haven't decided on a petcock yet. If a can find a small 90 degree one that would be great, or I'm going to use a 90 fitting and use a in line petcock. I can throw up a pic of the bung if you want, for some reason I didn't take a pic of it?

I bought some 90 deg. petcocks from TC Brothers. 1/4" pipe fittings so I brazed (2) 1/4" half coupling the tanks. My cuts are just like your on the tank. Bike looks great!

So, it's been almost a year since I've done anything to my XS. I sold my Triumph and bought a shovelhead that I worked on all winter so it took up a lot of my time. The XS was always a side project. But recently my son (15yrs) has been humping my leg about it because I'm sure he wants its. So we're back on it and this is where we're at.

Sitting on the sidelines just like mine. I've been debating selling the complete project or getting back to it.
