Been wanting to do this for a while. Wanted to do it when I still had my bike, but didn’t want to be without it while I was making the mold. Also didn’t want to sacrifice a perfectly good tank for the cause. So I just found a good candidate on eBay for 70.00 so I bought it. Forgot to get a picture before I started, but you can see it had a good size dent. The inside is also trash. I’ve never seen a tank so rusted! Got it sanded a bit and ground the paint away so the body filler would stick well.
After first and second coat of filler.
This is after coat three and some sanding. Still needs one more skim coat, but finished for the most part.
Going to cut the spot welds on the mounting brackets so I can get those out of the way. And pull a good part from the underside. And maybe get it in a coat of duratec later this week.
