Bobber Build Gas Tank Choices and Metal Fab - HONDA CB650 - Episode 10

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Alright people.....2 hours into the video and it's a close race between tanks #1 and #3. I'm torn at this point. A great comment below is that tank #3 would be a great option for a cafe bike build. Which might very well be my next build. But that's a whole other POLL. Thanks for watching and if want a chance to take this bike home simply click here: bit.ly/cb650bobber

[@ryanfrank1309]

I'm thinking the #3 because it has bigger fuel capacity and looks slightly meaner. This is mostly subjective though. Cool video!

[@howarddozier8804]

I like #3

[@samaelcortez1387]

I am stuck between tank #1 and tank #3 maybe after the bike is a bit more put together everyone will make up there mind better, that way we get a better idea of what it will look like

[@OutbackOutlaw]

Man I was bummed I lost internet and wasn’t able to put my vote in on Patreon.

[@nathankirby7683]

Definitely tank #1. It fits the style the best and the pattern on the sides and top could look really cool painted in an accent color.

[@thomasbarnardjr9657]

Gas tank #1, fits the bike the best. It's lines flow the best. Tank #2 would fit much better on a slammed bobber with more rake. I had a similar tank on my 88 sporty, which is on a 35° raked Paucho rigid. With the short factory front end, either the first or third tank will be more ideal. In my opinion the third tank would be a better fit on cafe styles bike, or a combination cafe/bobber style build that can be seen in a lot of triumph style bobbers. So in general for me tank #1 has the best lines for what you're building.

[@hdrusty48]

#1, 21/2 gallons is sufficient for a bar hopper. #3 is cool but a little to big.

[@YogisCycleService]

Use either 1 or 3. I didnt like 3 at first but with the inserts that kinda makes it pop some however you can probably accomplish the same effect with paint also and #1 with the texture would make that harder to accomplish I imagine. Great fab work though.

[@nicholaschai4458]

Your craftsmanship is mind blowing

[@joshuabenoit3744]

Tank #1 for sure!

[@Chevyv8man1]

I think that tank number 1 is the best for this build. Number 3 is a cool tank but the indents in the rear don't line up with the lines of the motor and throws it all off. If you stand back with #3 tank on, you can see the back line of the cylinders are in the middle of the indented part of the tank which throws the lines of the bike off imo. It's looking good so far, keep them coming. Later

[@pgrayrk]

really like 1 better than the other two. glad you did the right thing with the chain and wheel spacers you are on the right track it will look kick ass when its done. just hint really think if things before welding or just tack them tell you know everything will work.

[@RickStringerCollective]

Getting there now. Keep up the good work 😎

[@johnfair62]

I like number 3 with the rubber pads. It adds to the bike, gives it a cool look.

[@do_it_manny182]

looking pretty good, i vote for tank #3, you really deserve way more views on your videos, awesome builder, again me and my wife enjoy of this project too.

[@Cpennington57]

I totally agree with the embossed tank on this bike. Or the third option. The smaller tank makes it look like a mini chopper, but the rake isn’t long enough to pull off the lil tank look. It has a longer rear end now, so I’d make the mid section meaty.

[@boone7075]

Tank 1, keep tank 3 for your next build .... the Cafe racer 😎

[@Mafr0]

Roundy tank = No bueno... The quilted peanut all the way!

[@bigflave2947]

Gas tank #3 and instead of putting on that rubber pad you should put your personal logo there👍😎

[@steveo7767]

1st tank looks the best!!!

[@TheDans7300]

Tank 1

[@baldguywithbeard]

Tank No. 2 looks the best in my opinion, the other ones are just too big. That teardrop shape fits the frame perfectly.

[@jonathanromine3623]

"it's like 6 o'clock at night...." Pans camera and the sun is at high noon 😂😂😂😂😂

[@phil1468]

Tank #1 for me. The second is too small and the third is too big.

[@fritzk9118]

My vote is tank #1. #2 doesn't fit the lines of the bike. #3 is just too big. Looks like you fit a bike under a tank.

[@paulwrighton5236]

Tank one

[@mitchymitch47]

It's a battle between 1 and 3 for me

[@michaelpenrod9453]

Number 1 gas tank looks a lot cleaner and matches the rest of the bike

[@HuskerPryde81]

Tank #1

[@BabyRandyRydeZ]

My personal choice would be tank 3. Tank 1 is awesome for it also....but the higher capacity is VERY useful sooooooo yeah... Tank 3. Save that second tank for a Scrambler Rebuild! ;)

[@krisz_1150gs]

Hi , Tank#1 , best design , best form !

[@sogapoc9747]

3 is dope to me. 1 looks good too. i do not like 2 at all doesnt look good to me personally. If you did 3 with the tank grips it would be the best decision imho.

[@devlinmcquiddy6938]

Tank #1 because it matches your original concept

[@pinhead_sid]

Definitely tank #1 with the diamond design.

[@roccet9teenroccet9teen13]

I’m really enjoying the build I like the last gas tank that Would look cool

[@enedinolozada256]

3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nwburgygolf]

#3 definitely

[@chomerly]

Tank #3 would be my choice. However, it does limit the colour scheme of the bike you could use it with, unless you can buy those rubber pads in different colours. If not then I would go with the first tank.

[@bengoodman4032]

Does anyone know the manufacturer or name of “gas tank #1” ? I love the way it looks and would love to put it on my next build.

[@MRomano1984]

Tank 1 then tank 3

[@OutbackOutlaw]

I reckon tank three would be better on a cafe racer but I like the mix up of cafe style bobber look. Tank three for me then tank 1 purely for the style.

[@richardpage2988]

Tank 3 for me

[@mikeeger7581]

Definitely number 3!!!!!!!!

[@BerserkerNick]

Really like the third tank but need to lift the front of the tank 2 inches and put a sight tube on it

[@timchamberlain6094]

#3 for me.

[@cowboy80ez]

Gas tank #3 all the way!

[@dwaynedwaynedk-stain1374]

for me the third gas tank with a fat tire(not to big just a little bigger than you have now) in the front would go perfect with the whole build ...

[@eduardonavas8393]

Love the tank Number 3 😎🤙🏼

[@mystro569]

#3 first choice, #1 second choice

[@terryharper7299]

Tank 1 get my vote👍

[@91Bronco]

Gas tank number 2

[@Footlessmage]

Tank 1 or 3 look really good

[@windym709]

A normal person would have put a jack between the hard tail and spread it to the 10 1/8 needed and then welded in the new cross bar to hold it!

[@timothyalexander2738]

Gas tank #1

[@jaxiron8832]

I like gas tank #3

[@mattburns545]

Stretch #2 tank Edit: #3 looks good too

[@gspiggity]

gas tank one looks on point

[@arizonarider6998]

Toss up between 1 and 3 for me .

[@nicholaschai4458]

1 and 3,but seeing the rubber tank grip...ill say gas tank no.3

[@usMarinecuv902]

Definitely tank #1

[@thomasgarcia7826]

Number 1 tank!

[@adallen3]

# 3...

[@mick.Walker]

Number 2 tank for me

[@cyclezncigarz7015]

3

[@daedalusknives]

Hey boss, curious as to what tank #1 is? I want to swap out my softail tank and I think that is spot on for what I'm looking for.

[@iaroslaviazlovetskyi3606]

Tank #1 and no fender struts

[@bengoodman4032]

I’m in love with #1

[@213dwb]

I dig #3

[@keithmccoy2935]

#3 for sure!

[@garybonacquisti8577]

Tank 3 for friction pads and size.

[@bobmillan]

I liked #3 the best.

[@busyb5912]

#1 is really cool but #3 would be ideal for and 80;s Honda

[@justinlyons5159]

I like tank 3

[@jonezen24]

Question about your Aprilia, have you ever experienced lean out with your exhausts? Or did you get an ecu? I’m looking at an RSV4. Thanks man! Enjoy your channel!

[@MOTOPILOT6]

I ran exhaust without ecu for a few months. Seemed fine. Never checked the plugs. Now i have race ecu

[@theshootindutchman]

Bobbers rock!

[@monkeyzeetube]

the other dude is always on the cell phone..hahaha

[@santosmartell5439]

Tank #3 👍🏼🇵🇷

[@mraycgz]

I don’t think you need a chain tensioner with a hard tail. Right?

[@dogsnmotorcycles]

Gas tank #3

[@mattkoontz5517]

I like the 2nd tank, the small round one. The others are tooooo bulky....braaap!

[@aaanomad2]

Go with number one or number three and cut the tunnel out and lower the tank over the motor.

[@skandix]

#3 gas tank.

[@johnrobertson1531]

Tank #3 looks best.

[@jlondonolson952]
