Re: Photo Step by Step "How to Dent Tank/Paint/Bondo" on a budget"
SO WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IS........
DENT THE TANK ON THE BIKE ! ! ! ! lololol, I got everything all painted this afternoon, and when I got home from work, I put everything on except for my headlight, which is still drying, and my tank, but wait a sec, GOD DAMNIT ! ! ! ! ! ! my tank all of a sudden has a lift kit on it! ! ! !WTF ! ! ! !
Needless to say I was pissed the F*k off....well, I pounded the tank the other way, knocking countless hours of smooth painted bondo away....re-bondoed, primed and painted, and wah lah, my bike is done, less headlight....check it out.....
A few other things I did::
ground tabs off factory clip ons to accomodate a more dirt bike handle bar feel, polished clip-ons, red grips, and zip-tied a couple cracks, yes with black zip ties, I figured wtf, its gunna get f*kd up again.....
a 3 day make over done good.....I'll post better pics tomorrow.

Yes I cut it with a ban saw, and then re-welded the cap back on.

from the look of your hand brake/clutch setup, i'd guess you dont do a whole lot with the hand brake. Shorten that clutch up, eh? But nice work on the tank.

why did the tank not fit on your bike anymore? is that because you dented itso deep that you dented out the underside?
