Hi I have built myself a SV650 Cafe Racer and part of the original plan was a tank to enhance the Cafe Racer design and show off the rear cylinder head of the L motor.
I have some welding experience Oxy, Arc, and Mig but I have to say I have good days and bad.
I have always wanted the try alloy welding so about 6mths ago I bought a Tig, unused till now. /////I've been watching YouTube/////
Now I am going to give it a go doing my custom steel fuel tank, it is a challenge The rear of the tank needs to hold fuel and the front will be an air box.
I need make the tank deeper and make a whole underside.
I will post as I go and advice is invited, thanks.
Bike with chopped tank mocked up.
