Is anyone running one of the LowBrow high tunnel "Wassell" Banana style tanks on a rigid XS? I see LOTS of Wassell style P Nut tanks but not many Banana tanks.

Anyone running a Wassell Banana tank?

Hey, Rustie.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for.
Back in '75, found and mounted a deep-tunnel banana tank.
Rewelded the tank's front mount a bit higher.
The tunnel is quite narrow, top motor mount bolts/nuts needed to be shaved a bit to get it to clear...

2M Thank you, yes that's what I was looking for. Fortunately the narrow tunnel problem with the originals has been fixed with the Low Brow repops, the tunnel on the new ones is almost a full 1" wider. But the basic outer dimensions have not changed. As much as Id like to get my hands on an original Wassell they have become quite scarce and expensive. That's a beautiful bike by the way, I'm going for something very similar but with stock rake. I'd love to get my hands on a vintage Cobra or LaPera seat like that. Got any full pictures of the finished bike?
