Well, my little E ton has suffered a gun shot wound. Some ass hole near my sons friends farm, decided to shoot my poor little scoot. It never did anything...(tear drop)
My son and his friend were riding the Eton and a little ttr 125 at the friends place. I guess their neighbor decided to airate the fuel tank and shot it while Chris and his buddy were in the house.
Looks like a .22 he had to be close too, the bullet went in the bottom right and came out midway on the left side.
Now a choice has to be made. Do I get a replacement tank, or.....
I decided to redo the appearance instead of just get another tank. Christopher and I both like the Mad Max movies, so I decided to do a rat rod/steam punk hybrid.
I might do a build thread. Not sure atm. I had a long aluminum cylinder, and a small aluminum can, so I made the long one a tank, and connected it to the small one with a heavy fuel line, inside a piece of black water line. I also decided to relocate all of the electronics, to a hand built box, in the original fuel tanks location. All of the body panels are removed, so its already odd looking, but not odd enough.
