[Yamaha_Rules69]

[zppeacock]

damn me likey

[racerxxx]

That looks PUFF!

[mopar_man]

That looks real nice. What did you use to seal the tank?

[posty2100]

damn that looks new for sure, how was that done? sandblasted? and spray gun or cans?

[MonroeMike]

Fantastic job.

[Jonpin]

Thats awsome I want to get my 350x tank to look like that did the tank have any dents befor it was done? mine does wondering the best way to get them out or fill them in there not massive or nothing but you would notice them.

[TravEX]

Thanks guys.

Yeah there were a few dents in it that he fixed.

The sealer is POR15, love it so far. Much easier to use than Redkote. It looks like molten silver, I can't wait till it cures and I can get my Big Red going again.

[aldochina]

looks amazing!! so, again, how was it done, proffesionally? auto paint/clear?

[TravEX]

Sykolincoln did it. In my opinion, it's professional.

[TravEX]

Got it put back together today. Been sitting for 10 months, fired up like it had been running the whole time.

Excellent job on both you and Sykolincoln's part.

[TravEX]

Thanks. I think that my front tire may have been in a little hole in the yard, cause the rear tires look taller, and they are the same size.

[MonroeMike]

That Big Red looks great now.

[bigboy_toy85]

WOW! That big red is amazing! That's one of the sharpest bigreds i've seen in a long time. Hopefully I can get mine looking that good oneday.
Was it expensive to get your tank painted? And how did you get your fenders to look like that?

[hublake]

Thanks guys.

Where do you get this POR15 tank sealer?

[TravEX]

Thanks guys. The rear fender is MAIER fenders, the front fender was off of a very nice 87, ScottZJ did that when he had it. The POR15, Syko got it, so dunno for sure, maybe Google for it. As far as cost, we swapped parts and this and that for his work.

[harryredtrike]

looks very nice,great job on the tank.

[Erics350x]

you can get POR15 off of ebay. If you use it be sure to add a inline filter

[The Goat]

Very nice big red trav, I'd love to have one of those one day... it's either got to be that or a trx300... most reliable bikes ever imho

[HONDALUVR]

I have several big reds and a trx300 2-wheel drive ... I like the big reds better ... love to re-do my sx tank and my big red tanks ... but I think for now I have to opt for plastic ... that is a good job on that tank tho ... !! Where did ya get the decals from ?

[TravEX]

It's been so long, I forgot where I got the decals. I'll check and see.
