Well I'm getting closer and closer to beng done with modding my bike. This one only cost me about $12 and I think its the best one I have done yet, take a look









HAHA $7 for the 1lb dead blow hammer, $5 for a sheet of skateboard griptape. Now I just have to get a little more flexable so my spreaders don't look like flying Vs. I have to widen it out a little, but I thought it turned out pretty good for being my first dent. Now I need to get my cage and 12 bar and I think I'll be done with the apperience mods

Almost looks like it belongs. Good job man. Alot cleaner than most that I have seen other than ones that were bondoed and repainted.

 

Total ignorance/lack of experience speaking here. Why did you do that? To me it looks like or sounds like you dented the tank in and put grip tape on it?? Educate me..is this a mod for stunting or some sort??
Looks nice, I was just curious on the reason, cosmetics, function??

 

Thanks for the positive comments, I really appreciate it. As for why I did it, its for stunting. Doing tank tricks like highchairs (sitting on the tank with your feet over the windscreen), spreaders (sitting on the tank with your legs spread out), or doing 50/50 (sitting on the tank with one leg over the windscreen and the other pointed to the side. All of these mentioned would be done while doing a wheelie and are just somethings, I know there is probably more.

I think it turned out pretty good, but I just need to widen it out a little so it fits me better and so the edges don't drive into my a$$ LOL

learn somethin new every day.

 

ive jumped up on the tank before. i didnt pop it up but i rode up there for awile and i didnt feel like i was going to fall off. 6'2 140. just curious if its better control or what.looks almost stock tho.

 

6'2" and 140lbs? Goddamn man eat something![8D]

 

Go out and sit on tha tank and try to clutch a wheelie in 1st gear. You can't hold yourself on the tank while doing that, well sometimes you can but it doesn't feel very good. It makes a nice seat for when you start doing tank wheelies and its almost impossible to slide off of the tank. I made it a little bigger yesturday and it feels better now, but more of my paint came off so I need to put more grip tape on.
