Default Re: Sheet metal (not straps)rusting . gas tank

Hi, I didnt take a pic. and I may have the problem solved.. The peice looks alot like the handle bars you would find on your typical stingray bike from the early 70's., but certainly broader. It goes across the bottom of the tank, up the sides. It attaches in one area to what looks like a body mount. The flaired part ( Handlebar grips) look spot welded to the back side of the rear fender on either side. This part would be a bitch to replace. Angle iron across the bottom will likely be the solution... There is more rust than I thought Buyer beware. me...
