That is work in progress Danny ...it hasn't got a base in it yet ; ) ...it will be an exact replica of the original when done (without the bubbly paint ) :-)

Very Nice but i'm always riding mine alloy would be soft? would it crack from vibration? but looks outstanding just at the price i'd be scared to ride it long distance. more of a show short ride beautiful to look at bike.

1200.00 US.....ouch.....nice, very nice, but ouch...my poor brain does math very poorly.. some people do complicated math, some folks do fractional math...mine does justification math..." wow, 1200.00 for a fuel tank...well thats 1/3 the price of another cool bike, why buy a fuel tank when I could almost buy another bike?...and then its only a matter of time and I have another bike in the garage... this type of math has put 2 Harleys, 2 Moto Guzzis, 3 Buells, 2 Triumphs, and a Big Dog in my garage...all because I wanted to modify the bike I already had.... I can see this fuel tank is going to cost me way more than 1200.00 and in the end Ill still need an aluminum fuel tank!

These are a bargain in comparison to Wilcox. Looks to be nicer work too as the gas filler bezel will be flush like the plastic tanks, unlike Wilcox tanks.
