bare metal tank
Based on some things I’ve been seeing lately from Adam and Shinya, I’ve been psyched on the bare metal look. I think it fits my 650 well. The 650 is a little rough around the edges and sounds nasty with the pod filters and 4-1 exhaust. So the raw metal tank with a few minor imperfections fits the theme. I bought another tank on eBay and stripped her down. eBay tank was super clean…
This is the shit Adam and I are using to prevent bare metal from rusting, it’s called Boeshield:

Boeing uses it on their airplanes… pretty sick.

(Click for Color) Well guys, we’ve had all winter to get something done, except for Ed who gets to enjoy summer back to back to back. The warm weather signals us to make those final adjustments and go for a test ride. Stopped by Brian’s house Saturday for some cold beers and a lesson on […]
Boeshield is some shit shit. I brougtht a case of that stuff and use it on my bike, my car, and my jet ski.
How often do you need to apply boeshield ? Thanks
apply it once every 2 months
you probably don’t even need to do it that often.
the metal develops a really nice “patina”. it looks really good.
Hey how did you apply that boeshield stuff , did you wipe it on with a rag ? And how is it holding up ? I’m about to go bare metal with my 650
I use wd40 now. Once a month wipe it on with a rag.
