The tins looked gay off the bike but real nice once on it.

One thing that confuses me. These tanks are either 5 or 6 gallon ( haven't filled it up yet) but the paint looks factory. Did Harley offer larger tanks back then as an option? If this wasn't done at the Moco, then someone is really good at duplicating a factory paint job.

On a FLSTC the stock tanks (4.2 gallon) look a bit narrow, 5 gallon tanks look about right and 6 gallon tanks look fat.

If you have a picture looking down from the seat I can probably tell you which ones you have.

These are fat, which I don't mind, I was more curious about the paint than anything.
