This is mainly a question for the guys who have restored their bikes, or done the tanks of their bikes, but if you got an answer...shoot away
I am in the early stages of doing the restoration / alteration to the bike I have come to call "The Tank" Reason for the name is due to the PO's artisic visionary idea's of painting the bike flat friggen black. Anyways, I was wondering if those of you who have stripped your tanks down to the metal noticed alot of xsess bondo work on your bikes. There must have been three or for mm of the stuff on the bike, funny thing though, was it was actually one hell of a good job.
Another question for you guys...were the tank badges ever welded on?
And last, but not least, I'd like to share the vision of my tank "reshaping" with you all. After finally getting the tank down to the bare metal, I have decided to shape the bottom lip of the tank from where the top and the bottom are welded together. Kinda rounding the tank a little more, and getting rid of solid edges...I don't know, I think it's kinda a cool idea...will post pictures once it's done.
