XS650 Special Tank Update

This bike was painted by its previous owner with an unimpressive metallic red paint that with dissolve in gas. Really lame. I taped off a single stripe along the back and sprayed it down with aircraft remover. Scrape, repeat. I’ll leave the steel bare and either rub in some beeswax/oil or let it corrode a bit. Regardless, I think it looks great.
