I've been looking for an F tank for ages now, couldn't find a single damn good one, just broke down and bought a GS450 tank. ARGGGH.

Wow dude, wish I had a use for the parts. Wouldn't split out the speedo would you? Mine has been acting up and it would be neat to have 21 miles on my bike, haha. It is odometer exempt on the title anyway.

Here is what my bike looked like today:

I have since removed a bunch of tabs that no longer serve a purpose, taken off the turn signals and am currently letting the rear inner fender reform thanks to some heat so it will still fit with this seat.

I know a lot of resto guys will hate my build but I'm loving it. I sat on the seat expecting my legs may be a little cramped in this position, and it actually feels really good. So psyched to get it back together. Now is just the painstaking process of prepping and painting piece by piece.

Nothing against the guys that PMed before replying in this thread but does anyone think it would be better or fairer if interested parties answered in the thread first before going to PM's, i think that would definitely save arguments and confusion.....

If its advertised in a thread then shouldn't it be answered in it..? This should apply for all for sale adverts as i have seen a few disputes over who offered who what first.....

Just saying...

Can't stand it!! just sent the seller a message......i am on my way..Hummm? my wife has banned me from Craigs list already!!! i will post pic this weekend if i can snatch it up..

Alrighty then...If you're not on that then I am...not sure how I missed it. If you end up with it and the wife is pissed then I'd be happy to give you a bench to sleep on in my shop.

Seriously though if it doesn't work out for you let me know so that I can take a crack at it.

I think I'm moving out that way, that looks great!

Mandic · « **Reply #420 on:** January 26, 2011, 07:57:43 PM »

Coming back together nicely. Need to get the seat to the upholsterer(if he can do it by next week), bleed the brakes, rebuild the engine, and get it back in the bike. Should hopefully be running by Sunday. May be an ambitious target though.

Just a rattle can paint job, so it looks ok from a distance(farther than these pictures, ha) but like a rattle can job from up close. However this bike is a rider, not a show piece, so I don't care. It is better than the peeling scratched up factory paint and rust I had.

Oh and I need to get 2 more of those "cat eye" turn signals to eliminate the big clunky factory ones up front.

That's looking real nice Mandic. What sidecovers will you use?

Mandic · « **Reply #423 on:** January 27, 2011, 04:55:42 AM »

Just going to freshen up the black on my stock ones and reuse those for now. When I get some time to change the electrical system I will get rid of the stock oil tank and relocate the battery to the tail hump.

I've seen some really nice rattle can jobs. It just takes time in wet sanding after each coat to remove the "orange peel" associated with rattle can jobs. Then on the final coat, wet sand, polish, wax, and it should be smooth as glass. For added depth, do several coats of clear. Most people will not be able to tell it was not done professionally. If you have the time to do it, I'd recommend it.
