Finshed my tank

Sky blue with a matte stripe little girly but....eh go fuck yourself
First time using bondo to a large extent but I think I did okay...its not perfect by any means but I am loving it right meow. I think its really gonna set the tone for the direction im trying to take the CB. From 5 feet it looks good but its def. not show worthy but I'm happy!

Let me know what you think good or bad








The crap around the filler area i could not get off for the life of me its not bondo...and i got lazy...oh well it will be some what coved by the gas cap. May touch up the stripes a little but the paint is still a tad tacky and hasnt set up properly yet.

Hot!

Pretty sharp man! I like the colors too!

I am afraid the colors are a bit girly...but after I think about it, Its MY bike and I like it. If anyone says anything i can just promise them i wont run into thier garage and repaint thier bike this color. that and other than the block...the bike is black...all of it so i think it will look good finished.

looks clean but... not trying to play into your fears of it being girly but it is! heh, def not my first choice of paint, but like you said, its your bike and you like it

Dont' worry about the sky blue colour, check out my sig. Yea, I've been driving my wife's bike around town and it's a baby blue 250cc yamaha. LOL. Who's going to mess with a dude comfortable enough driving that?

great stripe by the way, I dig stuff that's asymmetrical.

This looks great! I've been trying to come up with patterns for stripes that don't run with the long axis, and this is FAR better than anything I've come up with.

There is a Dodge Challenger (one of the new ones) in the town where I work that is blaze orange with a similar stripe pattern in black. Every time I go by it I nearly twist my head off trying to get a better look. You'll definitely be turning heads with this.

All the harely guys at work already gave me a hard time for the fact that its a 350 so "Is that your sisters bike?" doesnt phase me.

Bike is down for now but ive caught a few people eyeing it in the parking garage.

I actually laid these down by accident. I cut strips of tape out for the stripes and after cutting i just set them down to get a better hold on them to put them where i really wanted them, i saw them like that and just centerd lined it up and laid them there for paint

I love design decision stories like this The stripe layout reminds me of old school bmw race cars with the M stripes going diagonal across the corner of the hood + fender. I actually want to build a bmw cafe one day and utilize the M stripes, I think it would look bad ass.

This is my cage...haha main reason I got a honda...figured some time a way from BMWs wouldnt be a bad thing.

uhh .. more pics please? Gold meshies with polished lips are absolute tits. I push a 99 540i 6spd. Shes kinda sad cuz I neglect her in favor of my cb350 build at the moment... but Ill get to her eventually

p.s. I feel you on getting away from the roundel.. I love bmws, but I could never be a die hard brand cheerleader, whether it be bmw, honda, mopar, or whatever. There are so many awesome things that go "Vroom!" out there, so it just seems silly to close yourself off to all manufacturers but one.

Give me an opportunity to whore out my car?

With pleasure haha!
