How to ruin a perfectly good stock frame

[oohsam]

Awesome. So will the tank be permanently welded to the frame or will u weld threads to the tank floor and bolt it on from underneath?

[mlc216]

Oh that's what those two welds are... They are bolts that I turned down the hex head a little bit and slid the bolt through the holes. Then I welded the head to the sheetmetal so the threads come out the bottom and go through the bracket on the frame...

Nicely done MLC! Extra fuel means extra time in the saddle... can only be a good thing

[mlc216]

The tank still has a LONG way to go... Oxy welding is great for welding thin metal together... if you know how to do it that is haha... And it's defintiely something I need more practice at

[pete]

You lost me at Oxy

Oxygen-acetylene torch welding...

Be careful using the word torch with those down-unda types. you'll have them all confused like. they'll start wondering how you weld with a flashlight! (j/k!)

Put more batteries in until it glows real hot..




(pssst. I think Pete knows what Oxy is but implied that's where his skill ends)

[mlc216]

It's kinda like staring into a flashlight for a while haha

Pete, let me know the next time you're in Mississippi and I'll show you all about oxy welding. I figure I should be really good at it by then haha

[rustybronco]

And I thought Pete was playing off the words "you lost me at Hello"

silly me...

[pete]

Hahahahahaaha you're funny bunch

Yeah, I know what an oxy is

I bought a bunch of batteries for the digital camera the other week... reckon they'll do the job?

You could use the flash as a spot welder

Good to know you're not an Oxy Moron, Pete.

[mlc216]
