I have a problem with one of the gas tanks
Theres a small piece to screw it in
It was broken
Nwed to get a new gas tanks for it
 
Its ok just ordered aluminum tanks from ebay
Much better looking tanks
Plus i plan on going full on aluminum at a later time
 
With the new tank
Its a half inch long er than the stock
And i can open both emds you can hide stuff inside

Now i feel like getting the side step also hahah

I'm guessing that's the fenders? I like the blue you had going but that red white and blue swirl looks awesome!
Maybe the dip as an accent to the solid blue you had going? Either way, the good ole red white and blue is the way to go!!
 
I messed it up really bad
When you dip it you have to do it slowly not just drop it in there and let it sink
In

Still dont know what design but itll be blue
