In my attempt to make myself a motorcycle, I’m now going to start making my first gas tank. This is the first - of several videos, showing how I go about this part of my project.
Oystein, Kool Stuff ... There's Lottsa Work in this endeavor ! You can get a Foam that's fiberglass Resin compatible.... if your going to do the Tank in Vinyl Ester Resin.... or...... Exothermic Fiberglass resin . This is Alcohol and Gasoline Compatible. I Like what your doing ... Few people realize the time factor to Do This !! You can scare yourself If you keep track of the Time involved . Where are you located ? Steve
Thanks. Thanx for the tip. And yes it is very time consuming indeed! A lot of thinking, planning trying and failing before it works… I’m located in Norway, outside Oslo…
@@DeSpiteMeccanica I've been to Stavanger..... when I worked in the North Sea way back in 79 ! i want 20 of these Tank's done by Friday next week !... Only Kiddin ... CarryOn Steve
Hello. Yes I’m sorry it takes some time. I can’t decide how I want it to be. So many possibilities… :) But I will soon start to make the final shape I hope. Then I can start on the next step. It will come, but it takes a little time…
Great videos. Thank you for posting. I wanted to share that I use a bandsaw with wood cutting blades, followed by an autobody rasp for making my foam forms. I tried using a knife as you are here and I didn't like the lack of control I had forcing the blade through it.
Thank U. That’s good advice. I will soon be starting part two of the process. Have some trouble deciding what shape and design I want… Then I might try some kind of rasp :)

Thanx :)
Excellent job!!

That is going to be an endurance tank?
Hi. Sorry for the late response. Don’t know the right name for it, but its going to be a bit like the old Norton tanks.
