    Painted a tank for the first time.

    Finally got around to painting the tank for my ducati monster so I can put it for sale. I had the typical tank dents from the old handlebars before I got clip ons. I brought the tank to the body shop on the corner from me and I had them pull out the dents with the stud gun. The guy did it for...

    How much can I paint with a quart of paint?

    I'm going to get a quart of single stage paint for my Ducati monster dark to repaint the tank and seat cowl. That seems like a lot of paint. Would I also be able to get two sets of sport bike fairings out of it. Tech sheet says 530+ sq ft at 1 mil.

    Tire combo help please?

    I am going to get a set of tires to get my big KZ1100 shafty project underway this winter. I can't find a combo for the 16 rear 19 front. I can't get a bigger back rim because of the shaft drive. The only think I can find are special deluxes which are not a bad choice. I kind of wanted some dual...

    do you think a single shock on KZ shafty possible?

    I was just looking at this thing getting ready to start working on it again. I was thinking it would look cool to have a single shock set up with the shaft drive. This way it would be real clean with no sprocket and chain. Do you think that maybe with a little bracing it could be possible. Can...

    How should I re do this rear frame?

    I want to cut out and weld in new tubes after the gas tank to get rid of the dip. I was thinking of going straight back maybe on a little up angle and meet up with where the bottom tube goes into the shock mount. I wanted to know what you guys thought where I should cut the frame or should I cut...

    KZ seat mock up

    I made this out of some cardboard real quick to see if I could get something to go well with this huge tank and the frame. The frame isn`t straight from the tank to tail like most bikes on here. It goes down then up by the shocks. Any thoughts on what I should change. Obviously its not as...
