Anybody else built their own tank??? i am building a fiberglass one right now. My avitar shows a pic of the mold on the frame. I tried uploading more photos but for some reason it wont let me any suggestions?
both ends on the poma top tube have drain holes you would have to cut it completely off and plug and reweld i chose this route with my puma this is only one side the other will matchI think im going to try to plug both ends of the extra large top tube of my micargi puma with 3m metal bonding adhesive. tap it for a filler and petcock. anyone tried this sort of thing yet? sucess? disaster?
Very nice work. Those welds look great. Thanks for the info. When finished are you going to be using both sides for fuel? Im still thinking cutting off the top tube off and rewelding it up, might still be an option for a super clean look. Not sure how much fuel I can hold that way? I guess the question is the juice worth the squeeze? lolboth ends on the poma top tube have drain holes you would have to cut it completely off and plug and reweld i chose this route with my puma this is only one side the other will match

I am in the process of building a fiberglass tank. Starting to spec it out now. Started with and old Kawasaki kz650 tank, which is similar in shape to but muchwider and slightly longer than i need. I decided to go a different route, I cut the tank in half and shelled out the bottom half, leaving a 2 inch lip on both halves for the bottom of the tank. Cleaned out the inside of the tank, and will start laying the glass in so i have 2 outer halves to start with. Then I can section/ chop them to the size i want. Ive also started designing the inner wall/ bottom half of the tank. Mind you, its going on a cantilever bike, so a slight bit of forethought has to go into this. Something i'm not familiar with, lol. If this method doesnt work, i'll probably do the styrofoam mock-up. But i had the tank and was about to scrap it and said "what the ****" I'll post pics as i get a little deeper into it. -KeithAnybody else built their own tank??? i am building a fiberglass one right now.

Quit a sight love the bike! This has grown on me a bit just spent time Googling this tank Looks great! Any links?I'm not sure that I'm 100% finished with this bike but here's a few shots of my old mountain bike re-done. I have enticed at least one of my neighbors to order a kit for his old bike. (He also has an in process restore job going on a Model A 2 door sedan going.) I think He's getting into the right mood!!!!!!!!!!!
