    Love your dedication to keep working towards your vision even when things get much harder than anticipated. Also dig your sense of style, I think those edge lit acrylic plates are going to look really sick

      Thanks man, it means a lot 🍻I'm hoping the final form will be even better than the vision in my head, but it does seem like it will look pretty cool. My only fear is that it just looks like a tank with a bunch of crap slapped on top of it, but I'm going to do my best to integrate it well enough to look like a factory unit (or close enough to that) 👍Thanks for watching!

    les go!!! cafe racer update!! your persistence is inspiring man...
    not gonna lie, if at some point you're gonna redo a bunch of stuff or ever do a new build a custom gas tank would be sick, I have no clue how much work that is though. The current setup looks really cool, but I feel like a different shape would lend itself better to the angular designs

      Thanks man! If I had known what I know now I would have just made my own tank, or purchased one that was much more similar to what I wanted, but I will make it work 👍Thanks for watching!

    Thought so, fingers crossed I just ordered a 750 tank for my 920 chain drive

    Dude that looks sick!! Next time I’m in the states I’ll come over teach you tig and you teach me fusion360!!
    Spoiler- I can’t tig hahaha

      Hell yeah brother! I will give you a spoiler, it's super easy to be as terrible as I am at tig 🍻 haha, fusion 360 is also not that hard once you get an idea of how it works, before that it's seemingly impossible use. Thanks for watching man!

    Use pedal for welding to control your amps, and you can tack weld a piece of rod to a cut off piece to hold it flush with the tank metal to make it easier. And also purge the tank with argon so the other side don't look like moon rock.

    • @hightech-lowlife

      Sadly my welder will accept a variable pedal, but I can play around with pulse settings, thanks for the tips man 👍

    If it’s warm outside you need way less hardener. If it hardened that fast you are putting in way too much.

    • @hightech-lowlife
      @hightech-lowlife  ปีที่แล้ว

      100% once I fixed the ratio to 3% hardener to 97% material, it was a lot easier to work with 👍

    What bike is the tank your using off of?

    • @hightech-lowlife
      @hightech-lowlife  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This is the stock tank that came with the bike. 👍

    • @jeffbafaro2171

      Do you know if the mounting points for the tanks are the same for the 920 and 750 for ‘81

    • @hightech-lowlife
      @hightech-lowlife  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@jeffbafaro2171 For the tank? Pretty sure it is the same.
