This is a 5 gal tank according to specs. I'd like to know why it ran out of gas on a slight uphill when it only took less than 2 gals to get it basically full. It was definitely out of gas, I turned it around and it started back up a few seconds. Put 2 gals in and it ran fine.

That's gonna be a problem.

Mercedes, Dodge Megacab dually with what I estimate to be a 48' gooseneck, Softail custom, and what appears to be a Duramax in the first pic as well...


Soooo, drugs or politics? Dunno which one, but you HAVE to be doing something illegal!


Man, that bike looks absolutely awesome! Still would look ten times better in my garage instead. You adopting?

Yup, tried that.
I checked the fuel when at home and could see it in the tank. When I got stalled on the hill, I checked it and couldn't see it. Rolled it back into and driveway and proceeded to play with the choke/petcock and nothing. Aimed it downhil and she fired right up.

Went home and put less than 2 gals in and it was up near the filler. I thought that very odd. It's a 5 gal by specs. took it right back to that hill and had no issue. Rode it for 15 miles and no issue.

Still though, I got 2 gals of riding and hope for no hills?...F that.

I like it and love the pipes. Custom bikes should be super loud.

I was going to say that it looks like an Exhaust Bracket to me.

Very nice looking ride.

It's distracting, if that makes sense.


I think it will sound a lot better with some actual pipes not just open 1' tubes by your foot.

No way these are good for this engine.
