massey130 Posted August 25, 2010 Share #1 Posted August 25, 2010 Ok, before I decided to fix my original tank, I took RandyR up on his offer to sell a gas tank to me. only caveat is that it is a black tank. I just set it on the frame and took some pics, I kind of like it. opinions anyone?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ solution B is that Jus Monkeying Around member was a big factor in fixing my original tank and that I should have it painted. He offered to pick up supplies and help me do the repair. Well at the Houston Maint Day, we did just that. We fixed the hole and another Hal is going to paint it. I will post that later as it comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friesman Posted August 25, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 25, 2010 Either way you go, you need white paint on the gas tank. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyR Posted August 25, 2010 Share #6 Posted August 25, 2010 I don't recall ever seeing a two tone back and white Venture before. Be creative... Oh. I guess this means you got the tank ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7Goose Posted August 25, 2010 Share #7 Posted August 25, 2010 I hate black bikes, but I actually think your white bike with the black tank looks real good. Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlyons Posted August 25, 2010 Share #8 Posted August 25, 2010 Looks like a police bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted August 25, 2010 Share #9 Posted August 25, 2010 Looks just fine to me, looks like a HD wantabe, just wantabe a bit more. Is it faster or does it make more noise now??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massey130 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted August 25, 2010 well, I showed Deb the pics and she agreed with the majority, NOT ! I will probably add about 60 % white to it in some complimentary blending lines. this will be a spare tank. and since I gave Hal my gas cap, I won't be riding anyway. Duh, didn't think that far. SO, the original white one will go on and when I feel creative, I will swap em out - - when Deb is out of town that is. I appreciate the input. the police look that Vgoose mentioned - I have some spare battery covers I could do in black and really do it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it faster or does it make more noise now??? as to my just previous post - no gas cap. it doesn't go anywhere or make any noise at all. It will soon enough, though. I have had enough of this ride a month and down for a month garbage. I should get a second bike. if i could i would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggler Posted August 25, 2010 Share #12 Posted August 25, 2010 Looks like a police bike. I was thinking the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeeze Posted August 25, 2010 Share #13 Posted August 25, 2010 Well, if that would be my Bike, i could see myself buying some nice white Car Wrapping Foil in a fitting Color and put a big white Stripe in the middle of the Tank with it. A thin Foil Stripe would give my a nice Touch and i'd be done with that until i can resolve the basic Issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
