Default New paint on the tank

A few months ago I had a chunk of road debris fly up and put a nice big dent in my forty eight tank. I finally got the time and the money for paint and I repaired it then threw some color to it. I havent really taken pictures yet but heres a couple.

I always liked your bike. The bars, light, seat.... and that tank is to die for. All Sporty's should come with the 2.1 standard. I wouldn't mind seeing more pics.

Oh, what's that tube on the side? Is that the old school fuel gauge? How labor intensive was that?

Hey thanks a lot. Ill try to get some more pics up here soon. Yeah, thats one of the old school fuel gauges. I thought it would be cool. I bought it from low brow customs. They send you weld in bungs so you just have to drill the holes in and weld it up. It didnt take long at all to get it installed.
