On the next to last set of pictures, am I seeing that right? did you paint
the inside of the filler neck & why?

Filler necks are tricky, just had my whole bike redone, professionally,
last December, all was looking good up until today, I noticed all around the filler neck under the cap the paint has bubbled up. Called my painter and he said he'd fix it. Now I'm leary, what can I say to him to do to keep it from happening again? Can't really understand how it happened anyway,
unless some fuel leaked around the gas cap seal into that crevice around the filler neck and got under the paint and spread from there.

Anyway, that is a fantastic paint job, those long bristles and steady hand has really worked their magic on your tank! Kudo's to you!

You may want to read this from a very knowledgeable painter. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...9&postcount=16 Diablo, That is very very nice! Did you tape the flames or freehand em? Either way it's pretty sweet.

The filler neck is bare I removed the paint already like i was suppose to jsut didnt do it at the time i took them pictures. I appreciate the aknowdlegements, I taped off my design for the flames sprayed them, removed all the tape , wet sanded it all, and then freehanded the pinstriping on it .

Here is a few better brighter pictures of the tank.










Here is some tabs I built for using underneath the moutning area of the rear of gas tank. I had recently removed the rubber strips off top of the 93 s10 blazer because Im building a slight lifted hauler rig for my bikes. I cut a length of the strip off, placed it under the tabs, drilled out some hole and then took a pencil and marked the shape of them on it. Then using my bench grinder, I shaped them and TADAAA cushioned rear of bike.
