Tank mod?

[miles28]

Not sure how to stf for this particular subject, as I'm not sure what the proper name is. But I have an extra tank for my 77 GS 750, and love the looks of tanks that have the sides "recessed". I know this is basically taking a body hammer and beating the sides in (for starters), but is anyone aware of a tutorial out there which shows exactly how this might be done? Hope that made sense. . .

Why don't you mark out the tank accurately where you want the "indents " to go , cut them out then weld them back on the opposite sides ? Cheers , Simon.

I thinks that's a great idea, but just one problem, I don't know how to weld. . .

One guy documented what he did on here... basically marked it out, tapped it in with a ball hammer & then bondo then paint.

It should be a few pages into the thread in my sig.

ah man, very cool. So just curious, I read through the post, but didn't see the final result of your cafe project. How did it come out?

It is still an ongoing project, and probably will be for the rest of my (or its) life, but here is the continuation thread:

OK, I give up.

WHAT THE HECK IS "STF"???


There is another thread going on about the use of acronyms and texting shortcuts, this is just a good example.

"Search This Forum"?

That's my best guess.

You could be right, as it is one of the following 45:

You may be getting old. I have to have stuff explained to me all the time. I'm sure when my son is a teenager it will be even worse. Think of all the slang/lingo that was completely lost on you parents.

[beergood]

If I had a choice, I would go with "Step-over Toehold with Facelock"

[miles28]

Jeeze, what am I dealing with, a bunch of geezers?!!?

Sorry, it's a common acronym on my nerdy mac forum I participate in. People there are always b*tchin' about new guys askin the same inane questions, thus the quote "stff!" which means Search the Forum and you can guess what the extra 'f" stands for. Hope that clears things up, and I promise to keep my acronyms to a minimum here.
