I will have to figure that one out. That would definately suck.

That could definately happen. If the bondo is that thick, you probably want another tank anyway. I guess you can always use the magnet in the panel trick. If it sticks your usually ok. That being said, I am glad that didn't happen to me.

Yeah. I figured I would try duplicolor laquer and clear and see how it turns out. So far Si good and it only cost about $25 bucks. A pint of each in a urethane would be about $150 and I would hope I liked the combo. I used 2 Ford colors so it will be easy to get touch up. Ill wet sand in a...

Getting close. Have to clean up some overspray and clear it.

I am thinking outside the box here, but what if you used heavy duty clip on headlights brackets on the rear uprights and use the hole as your mounting point. Just thinking out loud. Never seen before, but maybe?

I am going to paint inside the knee dents a different color and thought the peening would give it a different look. But after listening to all the comments I figured it would just look like I didn't give a shit. Ha ha.

I just got the dcc rear sets today. WOW. They are better made than I could have imagined. They look heavy duty and I no light weight. Those knurled edges. Sweet! All concerns have been laid to rest.

Here is where I am so far. I still need to get some glaze to clean up some of the fine scratches and imperfections. I am glad I cleaned it up. Using the urethane mallet did not dimple up metal that bad. Just got some clip ons and Rear sets from DCC. I don't think I am quite there yet, but I...

I gave in to my own will. I started to put a thin coat of filler on the sides. I must say, it looks good will put photos up tomorrow.

To be honest, I just watched a youtube video and figured I could do that. As far as the cut and reweld, I would steer away. Gas tank metal is very thin and unless you are working with a new tank, probably thinner in some spots due to rust. Blowing holes in a tank sucks, trust me. I just...

Here is one more shot to try to show the shape. This is my first go at hand hammering. I used a 2" torpedo style nylon hammer. I may want to leave dents. Figured it mat give it some character. Still not sure. Probably last minute call. Any input would help.

To bondo or not to bondo?? I have hammered the tank with intention to bondo, but I kinda like the look. I am going to paint the tank Ford toredor red and knee dents a dark gray metallic.

See thats all I need. I can't wait for the parts delivery.

I just purchased the rear sets through dcc. I hope o made the right choice? I. like the design and their helpful attitudes. I also liked that the pegs looked chunky. I think it will look right for my bike. The only thing I didn't like was that it isn't adjustable like the tarozzi's or the ones...

I have looked at the three batteries you recommended. All seem that they would do the trick, can anyone recommend wich one is best for my street 650? I want the smallest possible, but best cranking power. We all know how those old ignition systems are. :-\

Thanks for the answer. Thanks for figureing out my question.

I have a 77 kz650b. I have removed stock battery box. I want to place a new battery under hump of cafe seat. The stock battery is just too big. I also would like to lay it on its side. I am running stock ignition and charging system for now. I want it small enough where I may be able to fit...

I was thinking of just mounting un place of passenger pegs. I just would havd to deal with rid length and angles, right? What would total be to 11758?

I am just chiming in here and this is how I understand it. I will equate it to a ratchet on a nut. If I have a 2' breaker bar I will have to move it a much longer distance than a short.ratchet but with a lot of mechanical advantage. Just like the shorter brake lever on a rear set. However if I...

I would worry about the black tarnish that forms on the aluminum. Could cause black ass.
