Just wanted to let future readers know that the JB Weld (not fast dry) worked great. Although it was thick and difficult to work with, I painted it on with a brush, let it dry, sanded it smooth. I...

Harley are inherently incompetent at anything but recycling big twins and Sportsters, but that doesn't matter to me since I don't own HD stock and don't have a personal need for that company to...

Gotta start somewhere. HD doesn't intend to 100% shift the market with this model; they want to be first big company to offer one to consumers, and they did it. If they were selling a motorcycle with...

Right now, in this world, we are witnessing the beginning of the end of internal combustion vehicles. Every major vehicle manufacturer in the world is investing billions into EV vehicle development....

You're still on this forum? Wow. Surprising.

Lowbrow's customer service is amazing. Maybe they just know you're a whiny little bitch, so they didn't use their ESP to realize you didn't get your...

I need this gas tank

Also, please do post some pics of the bike when you bought it. I'd love to see your $100 Honda.

ROFL it's worth $1,000 for a carb tune? Get out of here with that advice.

Dude, you have a cool bike. Those 550s were kind of the shitty little brother that no one cared about, to the 750....

Quick JB - yes; regular JB - no

At least... That’s what I’ve read on like 100 forum posts after googling “gas proof epoxy.”

Anyway, I’m going to leave the rim of the filler neck raw. Gas would...

Got about hundred miles on the tank and a lil bit of trouble with the paint. While the SprayMax 2k clear coat is fuel resistant, the base coat is not. At the top of the fuel neck, where I had it...

Getting caswell out is easy. Use Paint Stripper that contains Methylene Chloride. I've done it myself, it works (welded on a sealed tank, destroyed the sealer). Then I applied more caswell, because...

That photo is fucking awesome. I'd love to get a print of it for my garage.

All depends where you live. Electricity rates vary like gas prices do. Here in SoCal, everything is more expensive. Your electric bill will go up substantially, but your "fuel" (electricity/gas) will...

The popularity of internet forums has died down across the board. There's a huge wealth of information built up that you can search for, instead of having an internet conversation about it. Perhaps...

Nope, used permatex thread sealant. Applies like threadlocker, but it's for sealing threads. Fuel, oil, coolant resistant.

After a few hours, no drips. Booya. Mounting time.

Seeing gas for the first time. Fingers crossed for no leaks - NPT threads sealed with permatex thread sealant, sight tube w/safety wire.

it’s marvelous!

Full can of SprayMax 2K clear. Wet 1500 grit to level out the orange peel. Meguires M105 cut via DA polisher with yellow foam pad and hand via rag (for areas...

Might as well rip that fucker out and see what's wrong with it before you make a decision. You might just need a top end rebuild and some clutch plates and adjustment. That's far less than $1500, and...

I just did some Googling because I don't doubt your assertions, and I find this to be interesting (maybe because I just lined a tank with Caswell epoxy sealer, and haven't filled it with gas yet).
...

Are you the original owner of that tank? What era is it from?

I'd bet my life something other than simply running standard pump fuel lead to that tank's demise. It just doesn't add up... there's...

I don't think that tank liners are inherently a problem. Harley has been lining tanks at the factory for a long time. This does not lead to problems down the road. The problems arise from using...

Off to a great start on CC...

Thanks... decided I'd just go straight to the SprayMax. Laying it down as we speak. About 3/4 of the way through the can, 15-20 minutes between coats. Will post pics when I'm done.

Good to know. I'll give up on that mission, then. I have about two more coats of clear left in my lacquer can, then I'm going to let it outgas for the weekend. Early next week I'm going to start...

Thanks for the tips mzavala!
