Finally made some progress this weekend with the bike. I got the tank cleaned and sealed! Talk about a long process. I ended up sealing it with POR15. I've read some horror stories with that product, so I'm hoping that I will be ok.
Also called Drew about a missing front hub from my RC rim and it will be here next week. So, hopefully I can have a rideable bike by August, that's if I can find a painter and a color I like. :D

I heard horror stories too so I decided not to use it. No leaks yet :D

Hurry on finding a painter in case there busy :shock:

Yea, I had to seal because of all the welding done on the tank. I saw a lot of surface rust on the inside.
I've been checking out a lot of painters. I want to find someone local. I know that I want a solid color with flake. Originally I wanted a burnt orange/rootbeer color, but now I see that everywhere. Looking for something different. Pearl while would be cool, but only if I painted the frame to match...decisions..
