        He probably lost control because of those ugly handlebars!! Good basis for a project, though.

          Damn, you beat me to it. I had the exact same thought as soon as I looked at that first picture.

            Yikes! My EN has the same factory scheme. I hope I don't have nightmares over seeing that tank!

            Lots of pics of the project please...

              Yes I have night wets, because of how hard it is to find a tank like that. To make things wore not an ounce of rust thought about using screws to pull dent then cut out a section and tig weld a patch and repair. It would be a ton of work. Question about how to determine models of bikes my info tag is worn off still have stamped number in frame. Where wire wheel stock or an upgrade option. Mine are aluminum. Thanks for any info and more pictures to come.

                          You might try filling the tank with water and freezing it. You'll have to keep a close watch on it so it doesn't swell too much and split open.

                            Not sure which tank you are talking about the GS 1100 tank is what I am going with for now. Pulled dent by drilling holes and pulling, then welding and grinding down. Being fill and powder coated by a friend. Thank for your reply

                              Sorry. I was referring to the original one that was caved in on top. Never mind.
                              Rest of what you're doing looks good. I like the rear wheel. Lotta work there...
