I.m still waiting on shop heater parts,and it's getting cold in Iowa,so color coat is on hold until I can get heat up and running. I thought these primer pics might hold you for a few days.

Yeah, what the Bouncer said.

 

[Bogie]

Very nice work! I wouldn't mind seeing this project in person.

 

[dirttracker30]

Bogie, It will be at every Grand National Dirt Track race around the midwest next year ,starting with Daytona in March. I have blue paint in hand,so hopefully,there will be "on the bike" pics soon. Where about in Iowa are you?

Tank looks great so far, well done. BTW.....did you figure out the exact volume increase??

 

[luvtoride]

That looks so... so original tankage! Been watching your thread & have not commented thus far. That is absolutely some of the best ingenuity that I've seen. Cannot wait to see the finished product, Heidi

It will be just shy off 9 gallons. lets call it 8 1/2 +, so around another 2+ gallons

Nice!

Wow. That looks nice.

Iowa's not far. I might get to see it up close one of these days.

 

[LAF]

Simply outstanding. The craftsmanship is a work of art.

Hope you have an apprentice, someone needs to learn that skill and be able to pass it down.

Have enjoyed watching the project for sure.

I too have been watching the progress of this tank. You should give yourself a big pat on the back for an impressive job; you increased tank capacity while maintaining good looks. It looks very OEM! Congrats!

 

[cruppelt]

Holly cow, what a great tank you have there now. I would not be interested in a secondary external tank setup, but I would be in a bigger one like yours, especially when it looks this OEM. Have you thought about making this into a product if you get enough interest? Just thinking out loud!

Congrats

I'm just a hop skip and a jump away in Marion. Would love to come see it for myself when you get it painted and on.
