6 gallon split tank photos (EVO)
I'm looking at replacement tanks for my '99 softail.
The 6 gallon flat-sides at Dennis Kirk have piqued my interest, but I can't find any photos of what they look like installed on the bike. I love the short, wide look, but I don't want to be ridiculous either.
Can anyone here help?

Being old and lazy ,( more the old), I would think that quality control would pressure test and look for flaws and such before sending part out? Would save a possible waste of time and money for shipping and handling.
Maybe I am too old school

They were popular in the 90's, like you said wide and fat. To me they would look very dated on a bike today. Go back to Easyriders Magazine with all the billet barges, they liked the 6 gallon tanks. Good luck.

Nothing about it makes it look ridiculous to me.
The tank itself is not very expensive, though all the prep and painting will make it so.
If it's what you want, and you've the coin, I'd say go for it.
