Gonna mod the Tank sportbike

olds_cool · 03-10-2008, 11:16 PM

Well, gang. It's come down to it. After looking at TONS of used bikes from the Big 4, I didn't come up with the right bike.

So, I'm gonna keep my bike for a little while. Got some new tires coming, because I don't like having a REAR, ENDURO type tire on my FRONT rim. Got some shorty mufflers of the straight pipe variety coming, too. Gonna get some hotter plugs, K&N air filter, bigger jets and a whole lot of shiny black paint!

So, I start some mods tomorrow!

Sounds good, keep us updated

I'm very interested in your bike when it is finished olds_cool.

You will be the first person I have seen to mod this bike.

Keep us updated!

Oh, yeah...this is gonna be a REAL bike when I'm done. I'll keep everyone in the loop.

olds_cool · 03-11-2008, 02:54 AM

Well, I decided not to go with the paint. I've seen a few bike with truck bed liner all over it...and I like it. So, I'm gonna get a couple of quarts and do all the plastic and the tank.

We need pics. I should rubber coat my sidecovers and tank. That is a great idea.

I have piles or jap streetbike parts so let me know if I can help with something you want to customize.

Cool, Allen...thanks!

Yeah, I'll have some pics up soon.

olds_cool · 03-15-2008, 04:42 PM

Some of the stuff I ordered for the bike will be here on Monday! So, let the modding begin!

so olds, this where you hang out now, still havent figured out my bike problem yet, but i have it posted here now too.

olds_cool · 03-24-2008, 07:18 PM

Hey, Randy. I've been on this forum for about a year or so, I guess. Man, what the heck is going on with your bike??? Did you ever contact Mike at Tank? He took care of my electrical problem with a free part.

olds_cool · 04-29-2008, 06:17 PM

Hey, Frostbite...I need to set up a gallery. I did some work on the ol' bike and wanna get some pics up.

I accidentally wiped out the old gallery! :roll:

Nuff said!

olds_cool · 05-04-2008, 04:25 PM

Well, the bike's just about done! I just need to get some pics up somewhere. Maybe that photobucket I keep hearing about?

Nuff said.

Hey olds, lets see em..........Randy

olds_cool · 05-05-2008, 10:23 PM

Well, here's one pic of it . Not the best...took it with the cell phone. I'll get some better pics up soon:

All the plastic and tank is done in Rhino bedliner. The fairings are chopped and I put on shorty mufflers that are straight pipes. Also put on new bar end mirrors. I still need to get the new rubber on.

Nuff said.
