Kicked like a mule and bit like a crocodile

I spent a little time filling the tunnel at the front of the tank , having raised it. 

With a little filler it should look like it grew there

Also started making the sissy bar with 16 mm stainless. Bent using a butane torch a tub of brute force and a whole bucket of ignorance . ( it looks bigger than it is , due to the small shed and photo angle)
