In reply to Indydpg. I used commercial epoxy grout that goes on with a stiff epoxy float, then wIpes off the surface with sponge it sounds easier than it actually was. the working time was pretty short.

Sweet! I like it man. From a distance it sort of looks like fish scales. Very neat.

Talk about nickel n dimen it to death. I think u forgot the dimes?
Just a note, I worked for years in the coin/minting n counting industry n technically u could be chArged for, I think “harbouring coins ”
All n all though l love the bike.
Ride on!
Remember for every mile of road there s two miles of ditches.
Stay out of the ditches

how did you get such a nice finish on the epoxy? did you have to do the tank in sections?
