Took some pics today. It has been about 2 months since I have done anything to the tank. I'll probably give it a light sanding/sealing this weekend.

Looking very cool just the way it is ... I'd leave it alone.

I didn't think I'd like the way that it would look but it's growing on me.

Yeah I'm digging this. I'm thinking of just leaving my new tank (post crash) bare metal. It'll have some welding though. I'll be doing the fenders as well.

Anyone know what the battery/oil cover looks like under the paint?

Insomniainc what bars are those? Do you like the height or do you wish you would have gone higher. I like them they almost look like a bmx set of bars. I like that they match the color of the tank.

Gotta love the search feature. I've been wondering how to get my tank and fender on my softail down to bare metal and this answered all of my questions, and it can be done way cheaper than I originally thought. Keep up the good work!
