What do you guys think of this tank?

Josh DIDN'T do it. He found the picture on-line.

Lke herding cats I'm telling ya! :rofl:

It's not mine, but I am half tempted to buy it.

Not going to lie- I would do something different if I were starting from scratch, but having this already done is awfully convenient.

Of course there are unknowns- are the original badge indentations filled with putty that will crack and fall out shortly? Will the paint loose adhesion and peel off?

Still- to buy a spare tank, strip it, fill the holes, paint, stripes, badges...gets real expensive really quickly as well as time involvement. Buying this would be clicking a mouse button. Hmmmm..

I really like that colour, I've been wanting an orange bike/car ever since I saw the 2008 Camaro SS in Burnt Orange Metallic (I think that is what they called it).

Do any of you guys have the skills to Photoshop this tank onto a bike? Preferably a black standard. I would probably try to paint a set of side covers to match, but I do not know what the paint code is that was used.

I love the 1100f tank shape and the color is amazing. Wish I could've found one while building my bike.

G’day nferr. Welcome to the forum.

 

[bigsheep_imp]

Great paint job Josh, can’t wait to see it on your bike.

"It fills the emblem part of the normal tank at the shop and is all paint of lame type orange, gold, black, white 4 color old car image.
Emblem is medieval, so it has usage."

Don't you just love Japanese translations lol

 

[PowerDubs_imp]

I just wish I knew what they filled the emblem with, and the paint color code.

For the money, welding the indentations would be much better than slapping bondo in them.

I would also need the paint color code if I were to get it so I could match the side panels.

I think it looks great, but $1500 is a lot. I’m picky about paint finishes, so I’d want to see it in person or up close and personal. Looks very nicely done, though!

 

[HigginsNYC_imp]

Once the painters tape is removed and mounted on a bike- and the sun hits it- will probably look darn good.

Looks fabulous. :exclamation:

 

[Lord Popgun]

It looks pretty darn good NOW!!!

 

[PowerDubs_imp]

I wonder who ended up buying that?

Wasn’t me, although I was very very tempted – because I knew I would also have to try to match the paint and side panels.

The seller was not able to provide the paint code color nor answer my questions as to if the badge indentations were filled with bondo or welded.

If Honda OEM, send paint code question to Takashi, he got my paint code for 16. 8 L white DLX tank, I bought from him 20 months ago.
Perhaps he can help in this "old" case as well??
