It don't look like the shovel we used to have. That's awesome. The pants resemble the uniforms of one of the local gangs down here. The chain gang. Lol

Thanks. I actually swapped out the knobby for an Avon. I have had knobby tires many times in the past, but that was a TRAILS knobby and it was just the worst.

The BSA tank. Looks like a post'72 which had the very large tunnel for oil in frame. Since you also split the tank for fuel and oil how much does she hold now? 2.5 gal ?

Nice all around.

Haha, well it's also spelled wrong. It says "HAREY-DAVISON"

I made them from scratch, but I don't really have any great pictures of them.

These are the only ones I have:

You're right, the tunnel is huge, I did do a bunch of modifications to it though to close the tunnel up and reclaim some fuel space, but I did take advantage of the tunnel for some fuel space. But less than 2.5 unfortunately. About 1.8 gallons. I do have to fill up a lot. But I don't ride this on super long trips, I have a fatboy for that.
