Dang...that tank is remarkably attractive...it will make the bike.

thank mcdroid, i found it at a breakers,i hve no ides what its from but it hade a kawi badge got it for 12 bucks, it was so dented i decided to do this with it, it was a hard won battle to get it like this.

I was watching a guy on Youtube pound in his tank with a hammer the other night. His came out ok but yours is textbook. Looks like the kind of job where you're walking a fine line between total satisfaction or complete hysteria with each hammer blow, wondering how it's going to come out.

Wholly Crapola!.... SCHWING!!!!

Seriously, well freaking done....

thanks guys!! its good to hear all the hard work is appreciated by the builders on here.

I love that tank. That is some great work. I have to say I think the tail section looks a little too big compared to the tank.

Craftsmanship is not a lost art. That looks pretty cool and clean, it will make the bike too. What is the raised area where the seat meets the tank? Is it filler? Also how much filler do you recon it took to clean up the hammered metal? I have a beater tank that might be a candidate for something like this.

Very nice looking tank you have. I tried to do that once as practice on a rusted tank and gave up when I realized that I would only have a dented and rusty tank as a result.

As for the tail I have to agree with thompson, it's just a little big for the bike. Then again some say that bikes are like women, so if you like a little junk in the trunk then by all means go for it.
