Thought ya might like to see the tank dent i done last week.
Its more than just a dent. I had to cut the top of the tank out and raise the rear edge. The trouble with 636 is the tank slopes away to the rear so if ya want the dent to go a long way back it becomes to low. Also the cap hits the bottom of the tank. Ya cant get fuel in or see how much ya got in it. I moved the cap back and now ya can pull through a lot easier and froggers are easier.
I tried it at the weekend. It is a lot better but i just gotta get used to it for some tank tricks.
Thought i would post this up instead of the normal hate threads ya get on here lately
Oh yeah the bit i put in is 2mm plate so it does not dent as they normally do when ya jump or stand on the tank. Got this idea from Bill Ds bike at stunt wars !!!

 

Nice work man looks a good dent

 

that is such a good idea did it take very long to do might have to have a go at something like that my self

 

looks good but im gonna call you a cheat now you already make everything look easy

 

HOLY ****! thats bad *** never thought of that! good idea!

 

If ya cant pull through with them bars then ya never will

Looks great mate, but it looks like spreaders will be a pain? Looks perfect for highchair though.
Keith ya have to be careful when welding tanks!

 

Now thats a nice *** tank dent

 

I was wondering how long it would be before you did this mod mate. Looks sweet ! Did you decide against the Bill D style filler cap position then ???

 

wow that is good idea i like it good job

 

i think i prefer first pic.
the hole will hold you in place, plus you keep constant view of your fuel!!!

 

stupid boy lol

 

look like a toilet
but nice job with the steel plate. i hope you enjoy it, i have a deep dent with them sharp edges, and i hate it, i will buy a other thank, and make a oldskool dent again.

 

excellent love a bit of different...good skills

 

Thanks for the comments chaps.

Yeah Mike, this way ya can see how much fuel ya got.

It took about four long evenings to do. Not an easy job at all
Dont Diss the gay bars Joe

 

van driel must be dutch for innovative clever bastard who can ride ******* well for an old duffer you the man mark i miss you guys

 

hopefully see ya friday night mate.

 

nice work as always ..

how did you deal with the overflow/vent tube ?

doesn't look like it will hold much gas though

 

Cheers Roger
It holds a lot more fuel than ya think. I only fill my tank so it covers the pump any ways and it does that and some easy.

That tube from the cap down is only an over flow tube. Its goes from the underside of the cap through the tank and out the back so i just removed it and welded up the holes. The tank vent is in the cap so no worries !!!
Every one worries about welding tanks, if ya empty it properly leave it a day the fuel evaporates. I just chuck a match in it to make sure its all gone. I have done the match trick straight after emptying it and so long as all the holes (pump etc) are removed it just goes poof!!! I have been welding tanks for years never had a prob. Or perhaps im tempting fate here ha ha.

 

i usually rinse them with water and then hide behind something while aiming the torch at the filler hole

as far as the overflow i probably would have made that work if i were you

like you said the actual vent is in the cap but it allows some gas to get in the well around the filler hole..

normally that gas would flow out the overflow to the bottom of the tank and down a hose but now i think what may happen is the gas will get in to the well around the filler hole and then find it's way straight up your ****

don't know if you have ever had gas *** but it aint no fun



who knows maybe im wrong..

but if im not ,you my friend will surely know what gas *** feels like

Me and tee rex have always run our tanks this way !!!
We will see fellow old duffer
