Yamaha V-Star Gas Tank Perimeter Weld Seam Removal & Flush Mount Caps
|
I
did some modifications to this Yamaha V-Star gas tank to give it
less of an import look. I started by cutting the perimeter weld
seam in 4" sections and tacking the tank together as I cut
it apart to preserve the tanks integrity.
|
 |
|
What
a difference ! It looks more like a Harley tank now !
|
 |
|
The
seam really takes your eyes away from the main focus point on the
original. All of the flames and graphics in the world can't help
a stock tank...
|
 |
|
NOW
THAT'S BETTER !
|
 |
|
You
can clearly see the difference from a stock tank to this one. It's
so much cleaner looking...

|
From
the top you'll notice that there are now two filler holes which
will have Performance Machine Flush Mount Caps welded in. It's going
to look pretty cool when the caps are installed.
|
 |
|
From
the front it has a really sleek look now and the addition of the
second cap makes it look symetrical, it was definitely an odd look
and looked "heavy" to the original cap location side.

I
do a lot of these types of modifications so if you want your's done
let me know... -Hank
