Just do it!!! I was pretty intimidated by it but I guess it worked out, its been holding gas for whole 12 hours, but thats 12 hours more than I thought it would. Plus no one will be able to look at your bike and say that tank came frome a...... Some good advise MAKE A MOLD. I could have saved tons of time. Live and learn I guess
Man, that tank is art! Really beautiful. I want to do a tank as well, and I haven't really researched how to yet, but I don't get how to do it really, do you make two haves and then glass them together??
Thanks, what I did is I made the entire tank minus the bottom. In my long post the progress shot labeled "final shaping" at that point there was no botm to the tank yet. I then glassed a concave or convecs depending on you perspective bottom, I cut the brass mounts out of the stock plastic tank for mounting the fuel shut off. and put them together. I then mixed some resin and poured it into the tank and mixed it all around to make sure there were no small holes. Then some casewell and call it a day. Are you thinking for your RD?
I haven't got a particular project in mind just yet. I just want to try it for something sometime. I have a Suzuki GS450 that needs a tank I might mess around with something for that.
Er, just to lower the tone (a lot), may I introduce the latest concept from Daves shed of Errors and Trials, the Banville Villam!
Villiers 9E 197cc 2-stroke of wishful thinking, inadequately blended with a BSA Bantam plunger frame and Golden Flash tank, home fabricated seat and frame (incomplete). Also incomplete, an early BSA girder front end.
Look upon my works all ye mighty and despair! (I am incurable!)
Im not going to lie to ya man... THAT IS AWESOME. With some proper fit and finish (the seats a hair wonky for me) thats easily one of the coolest bikes around here. Do you have a build thread up yet? If not please start one. Id love to follow the progress.
