I have a perfectly good IS tank with a damaged fill spout and was wondering if anyone has ever done a flush mount pop up cap.
I thought I could paint it black and also loose the reflection in my oversized windscreen.
Thanks,
Glenn
Ps. I did a search and found nothing.

Only one I've seen was in the NW, around Washington or Oregon I believe. I'm drawing a blank as to the name just now but it looked real good. Would do it myself if not for the cost, has a high "cool factor" in appearance.

I looked in the Archives last night using Gary Eckermann, no post.
Then tried shockbushing Gary, no post.

Try your search using the name Pruor. I believe that's the spelling Gary used. He change his handle a couple of years ago. I think it refers to a Norse god.

just was going to post about that John. This is how he spelled it, Þrúðr, I copied and pasted like that. over 4k posts came up with his handle. this is a post and pic of his tank and he talks about it doing it. http://www.valkyrieforum.com/forum/tech_archive.cgi?read=1252802 |

Thanks CA!
As always this is a great site for Valkyrie support!
I really like the look, but I'm not so sure my TIG skills are there!
I have a light duty TIG/plasma/stick welder that I have never used (I bought it for the plasma cutter(I love the plama cutter)). This might be the right time to give it a shot.
Thanks again.
Glenn
