tres bien. Great looking bike, I especially like the tank and pipes. Are you not going to get trouble with rain coming into your exhaust? Maybe put one of those tractor/truck lid flaps on, that would look cool.

No because i'm leaving in east south of france and it's not raining a lot , so will take my chopper only when the weather is good.
My handlebar is at home.

J'aime beaucoup la géométrie du cadre et l'attention du détail avec toutes les pièces "old school" que tu as trouvé et que tu réutilise!
Le réservoir est une bonne idée, tu garde le look chopper mais c'est une petite touche qui fait "made in France", c'est génial! Dommage qu'il ne soit pas un tantinet plus gros. Compte tu le garder comme ça ou le peinturer?
Bref, très beau projet! Félicitations!

Merci Alex pour tes commentaires francophones pour le moment le réservoir va rester comma ça en attendant et plus tard il sera surement repeint en rouge simple pas de métalflake .
Ce qui est cool c'est que la marque (company) du réservoir était installé dans les années 1950 à 1 heure de route de chez moi.
Et les descendants tiennent un garage moto Kawasaki.
the front fork is finish and i have fixed the light , now i try to put the front brake in a good condition.

Beautiful work there. But you may have a problem with the Harley rear wheel. The rear sprocket on Harleys has no cush drive (rubber isolation). Harleys have heavy duty transmissions for this. You may get fast wear in the light Yamaha transmission...
It's possible that make few problems but i don't want to drive fast with.
So i think if i drive cool, the yamaha transmission will be ok.
Great work on your chopper ,question what kinda bike is the tank from?

Exactly this company built bikes in 1920s and after built small motocycles in 1950s in the south of France not very far from my house.
The descendants of this family Tendil holds a motorcycle concession at 1/2 hour of my house.
Some old pictures about the company.
