It working two extra nice with ears and sounded 👍

I had them custom made in salt lake

I dipped the tank in liquid to make a perfectly level plane where I wanted to cut, This makes it so when you flip it and the other side is cut precisely the same it should fit the hole. To make the other side match I completely covered the cut section with masking tape, then peeled the tape off and popped it inside out to use as a stencil for the opposite side.. good luck!

Send me your tank! Or drop it off if you're in Utah

@@piccadillypainting2826 ok do you didn’t hammer pound it you did a cutout and replicate that on other side, flip it and weld it back into the tank. Nice. Sadly I’m in Stockton, CA. If I can ship it to you how much would you charge to do that for me? Realistically?

@@Vanzanvang $300 includes strip, etch, condition and line the inside of the tank so you'll never have to worry about it rusting through. What bike is it for? Maybe I can find a cheap one local

@@piccadillypainting2826 nice! $300 I could do. Is that price including shipping it back or I have to cover the shipping back? Haha. I should be free to ship out in few weeks? I have the same bike, a 2005 Yamaha v-star 1100 Classic. Though I want the dish cut to be a bit shorter then yours. If you can find one locally and fish it for me for cheaper I’d do that too! Anyways is there a better way to reach you? Like Facebook or email? Messaging here is a bit slow.

Nailed it lol outperforms in every category, other than swagger

One tank. Cut, swapped, and welded, nothing more

I layered up five or so different colors of spray paint and rubbed it with lacquer thinner Just enough to show color where I wanted it and speckled it by fogging it from a distance with the brown paint, then sand, then speckle, then clear.

Hey thanks! Sold the bike and helped the buyer with a rear fender and a few other things to make it legal. Saw him around town that summer but no idea after that

Glad you like it, thank you

Bought it that way

No worries thank you for the input!

Haha! Agreed! . appreciate your opinion .. The buyer loved it anyway. He opted for a rear fender as well.

Dished the original tank using the cut, flip and weld method.

Nope, just fabricated some shorter links to lower the back. Bottoms out on big bumps but not too bad.

I purchased the caliper/pads on eBay, pretty cheap. Definitely not a sufficient amount of stopping power. Maybe If I was to replace the rotors as well I believe they are original to the bike and pretty beat up over the years. It's a pretty small setup considering the size of wheels they're trying to slow down

@@piccadillypainting2826 thank you! Band breaks are cool but only work going forward. Great job on your DuneCycle..

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

V Star it’s a matter of opinion. You can’t just appreciate the work that was put into it? You know..promote creativity instead of calling it stupid? Some people want to be different and not look like every other v star on the road.

2000 classic

themadscientest haha! Glad you like my creation! I will definitely do a walk around video soon

@@piccadillypainting2826 Yeah, I want to know like displacement and stuff, also why didn't you just go for a big industrial V twin?

@@themadscientest lol yeah this thing picks up quick and tops out at 40mph with the 212 predator it has on it. It's comfortable but anything more than that would be terrifying! It's a fun little scooter built with old dune cycle parts.

@@piccadillypainting2826 If it does not make you fear for your life and make your neighbors hate you you're doing it wrong.
