    Looks good to me, man. I'd run the Sporty tank as opposed to the stock one, but that just me...I like small tanks.

    Keep on truckin'!

    Either tank would look killer, but I like sportys, too.

    They both look good, but I would use the Sporty if it was me.

    Just my opinion but I reckon they look sweet just as they were made in 69.

    Nice start I like the sporty tank,But I agree modifing the stock tank so it still as some stock look but where you can see more of the frame and motor would be cool.

    yeah, i just stuck on a old yamaha tank and now i really can't decide..
     
  17. Section the Sporty tank length-wise. Do it so there's no flat spot between the radius at the front, just a smooth arc.

    Id go with the sporty tank also. It would look cool frisco'd--but I also like it low on the frame.
