Hers pics of my first time smashing in my tank. tell me what u think.

 

It actually looks pretty good. You already wreck that 06 ??

 

Grip tape it.

 

Lol I sure did. I flipped it. But talking about the grip, should I use skateboard tape or the clear one with the little spikes all over it? Also do u think it is deep enough?( I also need the whole tail fairing 4 my bike if u know anyone?)

 

I could tell you flipped it, haha.
Dent looks decent to me, for your first one. Just use skateboard grip tape, or go to hai and get some, sence you live right there in Otown.

If you repaint the bike, sand that **** down, then smooth it out with some bondo. That way you won't see the dents.

 

i dont use skate grip take cuz it rips the **** out of my jeans. i got this **** that they put on steps its on the idea of grip tape but its made of like a hard rubber and works real good. check lowes or a hardware store.

 

I do plan on getting it painted, thats why im a little hesitant to put the skateboard tape because of how difficult it would be to take it off. Ive been sitting on it but i havnt tried to wheelie it yet, any pointers?

 

take a heat gun and welding gloves to the front plastic part to make it sit closer to flush...

I've never tried stomp grip (clear with the spikes as you call it) But, at cyclegear they sell some clear griptape.... its like the skateboard stuff, just clear, and not quite as grippy so it wont tear through yoru pants as quick. It seems to hold up better to the rain as well... I used to have the a peice of surf traction, but i bought soft so it wore out fast...


can use bondo to smooth it out too, and make it look nicer

best **** to use, no rips in the jeans and fairly cheap. one order will do 4 gas tanks easy :YEAH

 

Hold on tight.

 

Thx alot man!! u guys are really helpful! I appreciate it

 

Hey Does The Bondo Hold Up.. Seams Like It Would Crack And Chunk Off With The First Firm Hit To The Tank. Or Does It Stay Nice And Purdy? The Dude That Did My Tank Mangled It.. Its Smooth And **** But Its Not Pretty. And Really Deep With Sharp Sides.

 

this is my tank with plenty of bondo in it... has been like this for over a year with out a single crack or flaw, well its got some turf board foam on it now for grip but still great shape!!

O and also that tank looks awesome

 

im gonna agree on the HOLD THE F$%K ON!!! haha you really should put something on there i used the surf board foam tape stuff to avoid it wearing wholes in my pants and tearing up the back of my shift.....the skateboard stuff will wear the *** on a pair of paints out in just one day of riding...

 

ive painted a few bikes, and one of them had a bondod tank. After it hardens, and its painted and clear coated its golden

 

yea man that looks so ****** nice. looks like it came stock like that

 

the dent, paint/bondo looks real nice.... but it looks like the tank is on backwards

 

yea a 10lbs weight and a body hammer lil bondo and HOURS of work and its good to go!! doesnt hold to much gas anymore though.. that kinda sucks for when i ride it on the street... about 1.8gallons..... but owell gotta give a lil to get a lil!!!

 

backwards?

 

yeap , it looks like backward to me
