    How long did it take to do the indent on the tank, really like your bike. It's is beautiful in a hardcore abused kind of way.

    Have seen other scooters with tank done this way, really thought it was a bigger deal! Like where you stash your PBR cans when finished LOL!!!

    Nice. The bike has a nice flow to it. From the seat to the dished tank to the bars to the white wheels.

    What's the PBR can there for? Did you build a beer holder or did it happen to be in the picture?

    I think you have inspired me to beat the hell out of my tank, glad I have two because this might not be pretty.

    SPARK the filters are regular aftermarket that cost me $10.. and change the only thing is that they dont fit all together what i did was take the originalfilter boot and trimded for the midle ones which go a li further back...and the two on the outside with the boot they came with... it was pretty easy..

    what did you do to the tank to get it to look like that? not the dents, but the color/finish if you can call it that...

    Very cool.
    Every time I see such a badass rat job I
    get the Itch change over.
    But I think I'll wait till I get a bigger bike, say 1100.
