Total ignorance/lack of experience speaking here. Why did you do that? To me it looks like or sounds like you dented the tank in and put grip tape on it?? Educate me..is this a mod for stunting or some sort??
Looks nice, I was just curious on the reason, cosmetics, function??

Thanks for the positive comments, I really appreciate it. As for why I did it, its for stunting. Doing tank tricks like highchairs (sitting on the tank with your feet over the windscreen), spreaders (sitting on the tank with your legs spread out), or doing 50/50 (sitting on the tank with one leg over the windscreen and the other pointed to the side. All of these mentioned would be done while doing a wheelie and are just somethings, I know there is probably more.
I think it turned out pretty good, but I just need to widen it out a little so it fits me better and so the edges don't drive into my a$$ LOL

Go out and sit on tha tank and try to clutch a wheelie in 1st gear. You can't hold yourself on the tank while doing that, well sometimes you can but it doesn't feel very good. It makes a nice seat for when you start doing tank wheelies and its almost impossible to slide off of the tank. I made it a little bigger yesturday and it feels better now, but more of my paint came off so I need to put more grip tape on.

LOL I'll give you some of mine HAHA I need to start working out, cause I'm gaining a little weight since I got my new spot at work. All I do now is stand in one spot for the most part, where before I was walking (hurried walk) almost 5 or so miles a night.
