I gotta say, I kinda dig the tank, which is a surprise.

That thing's bitchin!!! Ithought about running those tanks on my 72' IH. They complament the springer very well, I've got a narrow glide on mine and didn't look that great. But that's an awesome start! Oh who makes the front end, and what frame is that?

The bike has a great stance on it... I dont hate that tank either... a bit wide but not horrible. You will def get some mileage out of that tank

ACME $pringer.....stock frame with a Kansas Kustoms hard tail.

The tank came with the bike and I thought "why not?", I'll keep messing with it till it looks right to me.

Thanks for the kind words guys, its taking me forever and cost lots more than I thought to get this far.

I dig everything BUT the tank....it's just way too big for your bike. I love that wishbone springer though. Good work man.

The tank is a little big, but you can make everything else a litte bigger or make the tank smaller. But if you dont plan on changing the tank, It still looks good.

It looks great, if it where mine I would slim one of the tanks and offset the mounts. Make it a 2/3-1/3 tank with the 2/3 tank for gas and the 1/3 for oil. It would allow you to ether ditch the round oil tank and open up the space around your motor to show it off more! But that's just me. Like I said, I think it looks good.
