Don't know why it wouldn't work. Guess if it starts squeaking you can always pull it back down, and do something different. Just don't scratch that impressive paint job!

Looking great Joe.. your really knocking it out!

the anti squeek straps are only like 10 bucks from lmc. you could almost/ most likely do 2 tanks with 1 kit... just a thought. or maybe cut a thin piece of rubber hose and lay it out.

Hey that's an idea. Since now I have to get another tank, we can do both tanks!

I realize it is cheap, but what about shipping, then I have to wait for it.......I hate mail order

BTW, Thanks Dennis!

JohnC · 10-05-2009, 11:21 AM

Are you going to do it tonight?

Jonboy · 10-05-2009, 11:22 AM

Use a bicycle innertube. Cheaper, and readily available.

I was going to ask you also.... What paint did you use on that tank. I think I might paint the other tank and my frame with it
