The tank however. That's gonna need some more time. Right there it has a clear coat on it. The first one actually and I hadn't gotten to wet sanding it at that point. Right now its on its second coat.
Dude steve has a really nice GS lol I had to throw that in.
Dude I can't remember his name right now. Beer-something..... I think. But either way he pounded in his own knee inserts. looks pretty good but I think bondo was his friend

BeerGood Yeah him and byrdman and one of the guys off the DoTheTon site pretty much talked me thru it...sounds simple enough and in any of those jobs bondo is required...how much is all about how careful you are with the deadfall hammer...lol I got one tank coming in exchange for those gauges i had off a GS1100 (the huge jetfighter ones) and i really want one more got a couple of leads..havent heard back from them yet.

I do...I have two sets...but i think they're set up for the square light...might not make a difference cos the square light sat in a housing. Since i have two ill toss em in with the other stuff... and since you're my bro...they're all yours. Let me know if they work!
