Ok, did a little work on the bike today. Started working on the top mount and got it mocked up. I wont make it permanent till I get the swingarm pivot bushings done this week. But I think this will be the permanent config. I will box it in as well for extra support.

Also mocked up my sets. I took OMR's lead on this one and did something similar. I used T-Nuts for the mount and SS sleeves for the shank. SS Button head screws to finish it up. Just tacked on for now, until im sure..

Couple of pics..

Test, this look a little better?

This should be pretty close to the final stance.

I wish I did it that often...I only cleaned it last week because I was done with the re-wire and about to start painting. LOL! I will clean it up after painting and move stuff around so I have room to finally start tearing down my '66 A1.

Are those 8mm bolts holding your rear-sets on? If so, then you may find that they are not sturdy enough. I wound up with M10 bolts on mine. Of course I'm a big boy, so I can put some parts to the test. Put your feet on the outside of those pegs and bounce up and down a few times. If they flex or break off, then you know you need bigger fasteners.

Test.. They are actually 5/16 and was thinking the same thing. I will give them the once over once i get them all welded on and make them permanent, just tacked on for now. If need be I will step up to 3/8's. Just didn't want the collars to be to bulking if they didn't need to be. We shall see...

Pin Hole Tank Fix!! 16 Oct 2011 21:12 #483626

Ok guys check is out... This is my next project and would like some feedback on my plans..

Tank obviously needs some attention, so here is what I am thinking.

1. Clean inside of tank
2. Mild acid bath in side and out.
3. MIG weld in some material and grind back flat for extra support in the areas I think need it.
4. Solder in the holes with 40/60
5. Clean inside again
6. Red Kote inside of tank

I welcome any suggestions, and or criticisms to my process.

Thanks in advance,

Jack

Mine had a small hole in the bottom.had a friend tig weld it because mig gets to hot and will blow a bigger hole. afterwards did all the body work. then had tank coated with the red stuff.then primed and painted. never had a problem. bike has been done about a year.my rear sets are mounted in the same spot on my bike. position is just about perfect for me. im 6 5".as far as material for mounts I used .5 inch solid round bar drilled and tapped for 5/16 bolt.very strong.oh yea dont forget to set up the shifter side with the kick stand in the up postion

Epoxy type fuel tank liners are available from several sources.
The viscous mixture is distributed evenly over the interior surface by slowly turning the tank.
Masking tape may be used on the outside to cover the holes and prevent excessive loss of product through the holes.
The freshly sealed tank is allowed to harden, and may then be sanded and painted as usual.

Good Fortune!

Here is a quick update.. Spend some time on the tank this weekend, and she is water tight. I still have to seal it, but happy with the results thus far.

I spent a little time and added some material with the MIG welder by just tack it on and working it in. I forgot to take a pic of it when I was done with just the welding, so you will just have to imagine.. lol

I then brazed it, grinded it, brazed it grinded it... took me three passes to get it where I wanted it, and it was all sealed up. But worth the effort I do believe..

Here is a pic after the first pass.. Left side done.

Second Pass.. getting a little closer.

Final pass.. .

Next it will get sealed and chemical tested for a good week or more...

Boost..
