sorry if this is turning into a bit of a thread hijack.
the key is if you’re not melting the parent metal, it’s brazing (or even more vaguely hard soldering below a certain temperature) if you’re melting the parent metal, it’s welding |

Not a hijack at all, as you have explained some of the processes involved in making that lovely tank, beautifully. I and no doubt others have learned something too. Thank you Slob.

I race (when I am able) with a chap who bought his Cotton Telstar brand new in 1965 (picked it up January '66 I think) and still races it and is still bloody quick!! I've not long had a Birthday so the combined age of my little Ducati racer and me is over one hundred now- scary stuff!!

Quite annoying as the little singles run pretty hot at the best of times (note cooling fins on the sump) and the fitting of more plastics only makes it worse. Looking forward to seeing the pics (you need to use a third party host site like Post Image) of your creation and hopefully will make it up to Doningtion for the Classic meet too.

Here you go FJ43.
I stole your images from the 'other' Ducati forum, uploaded them to Postimage and hotlinked them. It's lovely by the way. Nasher

No worries.
In postimage, hit the share button, then the Hotlink option, then just paste the link text it gives you into the forum. Nasher

Hi Gary
Thanks for that, I think that you must have seen the Tab 2 Classics Facebook, I don't have one. The Tank is indeed the work of a real craftsman, in fact craftswoman, the main fabricator is the daughter of the founder of the company. I went to them with photos of my Monster and a TT2, with the brief make it a close as you can to that look. I think it works, top is basically TT1 and sides Rob North Trident, it holds 14 lits. |

What is the thing mounted on the top yoke with a cable just in front of the ignition switch?

Its the Throttle advance cable (Some would call it the choke) was originally in the left handlebar switch
