One case has been pre-cleaned...

One thing I noticed about this picture is the bend at the front top. It looks like introduced stress and a good place for a crack to form at the weld. I hope that is not the case.

Dents/punctures aren't really a big deal with aluminum/metal tanks...a skilled metal worker can smooth dents out like new. There's a guy out on Cape Cod that specializes in metal motorcycle tank repair, his work is flawless...you think you're just being handed a brand new tank.

I'm not sure I could do an aluminum tank.  That first dent would be hard to take.

Hit the Bormi web site and after mining their site found the gas tank gallery.

They make a lot of nice parts! The KX and CR tanks don't really look bigger to me but they sure are pretty.

looks like kawi more interested in the road bike market then the dirt bike market with at least 4 new road models coming soon.

cool hearing some of the old "tingers'...

That's awesome...congrats to him.

I originally went to school for Mechanical but got tired of math so i switched majors lol.

Was actually just in Golden the other day - glad he's loving it!

Thank you, we're very proud of him.  Golden is such a pretty little town.  With North and South Table blocking Denver, you'd never know it was that close.  It just looks like a quaint little mountain town. 

On the subject of riding and Golden, where are the good places to ride near Denver?  My son and I thought about hauling the bikes up there time and riding.  Maybe when he moves in next fall.

That is a bunch of interesting angles on the tank. Are you going to put water (or fuel) in it and check volume? Not sure I would go through the effort unless it was larger than stock.

No, I won't put anything in it except for some race gas 
But I'll know how much approx that it will hold.

Jason hand lapped all mounting surfaces on the cases and performed all of KX Guru Racing case mods to improve lubrication... 
Just need a trip through the vapor blaster and oven and they will be ready for assembly..
