Haha, I tried my first spreader yesterday and didn't brace myself b4 I clutched it. It was funny b/c the bike put my ass right back in the seat from on top of the tank, lol. I almost lost the bike.

i see you dont run gauges or atleast it doesnt look like you do...do you ever have any problems of the bike running out of gas on you with no warning? i was doing a 2nd gear seat stander sat. and the bike just shut off mid-way and i could get to the clutch in time :banghead:

My boy did a good job on his 600rr tank, came out perfect.... beat the tank in how ya want and put the cover on and use a heat gun to form the cover! easy as pie....

turtle, use silicone around the outside, or you can go to home depot and get a sink stopper, its flat and white usually, cut the gas hole out and the holes for the screws and tighten it down on that work for my friend
