Re: RaTornado... fender light installed!
Well I got some time today to work on making my tank and I found myself on here looking at all sorts of home made tanks and I thought I'd scrap my idea of a wooden tank in favor of something cooler and lighter. So my taking some inspiration cues from both Stitch (MrLeghorn) and Western ƒlyer Šuper (ifitsfreeitsforme) and create my own version. A little expanded metal, cutting, grinding, painting, and some leather shoelaces later and we have a tank.
First I made a template from cardboard to get the curves right
Painted the tank halves
I tried to match the red to the seat so it will tie the different shades in to the rest of the bike.
Just laid one half there to see how it looked
Laced up like an old shoe
All the accessories line up perfect.
