Hey fellas..

I'm currently building a custom and I've spotted the fuel tank I want to use. ...problem is, I can't seem to actually find one. Do you know what tank this is in the picture?

It looks to be a single piece tank (not like a fat bob) because the filler is in the center. Looking at the forward mounts, the nifty gauge mounted there, and the knee pads on the sides, maybe it's not a HD tank? I was thinking it might be a Triumph tank. But all the triumph tanks I see have a more stubby rear (not as much of a tear-drop shape). Of course this could also be a custom tank but I thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas.

Thanks!

Not sure about the tank but that's one bad *** looking shovelhead.

 

im not good with vintage stuff, thats a cool looking bike though. it does have a triumph look to it, but just because of the knee pads.

 

Appears to be aftermarket. Paucho, or Vtwin maybe

 

Isn't that a Billy Lane scoot?

 

Pre DWI?

 

I thought BSA myself.

But, yeah, some limey for sure.

 

Thanks for the ideas guys.. I'll keep poking around to see if I can find something that looks similar. (And yeah, that is definitely a bad-*** shovelhead!)

 

yeah i was thinikin bsa too, looks like the speedo was a custom fitted job, IMO deffinetly not a stock placement

very cool though, how about some pics of yr build???

 

Thanks Eyeball Kid. Yeah, looking at the BSA tanks, I think that's what kind of tank it is. And I agree about the gauge probably being a custom fit. I'll post some pics of my scooter for sure, once I get something that looks like a bike... all I have at the moment are some wheels and a new evo 80". Frame is still on order.
