Check out my tank project

[brougham79_imp]

Just wanted to share with you fine folks the work Craig @ precisionmotorcyclepainting.com is doing:

(Before)Purchased from ebay pics:



Prep for paint. Craig, filled in the badge holes and the dent on the left front side:


Final paint of tank in black pearl with gold pin striping:



I have more photos if interested. I thought it an alternative to the whitehouse k10 tank for sale at samurider (plus having to purchase the k10 seat) at about a grand less than the price.

Wow that looks awesome

 

[brougham79_imp]

Thanks,can't wait to put it on the bike...has to dry for a week

 

[the Ferret]

Are you doing the side covers as well?

 

[Ferrealls_imp]

Looks good man. Mind if I ask what they're charging for the work? I'm going to need some tank work this winter.

 

[brougham79_imp]

Ferret, I'm torn between the over racing side panels and just sending mine in. Of course cost is a factor and the over racing side panels are aluminum (I believe) vs. plastic.

Ferrealls, $810 plus shipping, (I paid $65 additional for the badges from ebay). About 9 hrs for $90 per hour, of course the tank I purchased had a ding in it and he filled the badge holes so it depends on the condition of the tank.

That tank is simply beautiful. Can't wait to see it mounted on your bike.

 

[brougham79_imp]

Thank you, Craig showed me this example too...and I'd have to say that I'd be tempted to go this route if I hadn't committed to the black.

 

[Pterodactyl_imp]

Awesome. Like the black though.

Cheers

 

[Cormanus]

They're both lovely.

and front end.


Just doing little by little...

 

[Guth_imp]

That's really going to stand out in a crowd once you get done!

 

[brougham79_imp]

I hope so! Maybe a long front fender in it's future...

 

[dr_rock_imp]

What a beauty!! Thank you for sharing.

 

[rboe]

Oh man, that really changes the look of the tank!

 

[grover_imp]

Really, really sharp. Looking forward to seeing the final package!

Top Paintjob

 

[Papa Weeley_imp]

Wow, that's amazing. Talk about going "classic" all the way! Can't wait to see that on the bike.
I think I'd have to go for matching side covers, too...

Nice! Very snazzy! And almost half the price of this $1700 tank, before shipping: WHITEHOUSE:CB1100 K10 TANK:BLACK | Samurider.com

P.S. I think the black side panels and extra long chrome fender really gives it the genuine retro CB750 look!

Love it! Craig does really nice work.
