I think the bike looks way better with the 2.1 on it. Still time to swap them out before you make the mistake of selling it. All for a mere 45 miles to the tank. Dumb IMO. Not wanting to fill up tank accordingly is just being damn lazy, old timer.

Once again, opinions are like ********,
everyone has one, they are all different,
and they all stink. As far as being lazy,
I bought my 48 to ride, not to just bar
hop (and gas station hop) around town,
hoping that someone will notice me.

Because of the 1948 model which had that tank. I love the 48 but the tank is what kept me from getting one!
