Here’s a little update. Scored a tank off eBay, bought the wrong “special” gas cap lol. Took the sportster tank off and removed the seat so tank would fit. New old stock tank need to be lined and fitted with petcock and painted. Nothing is bolted down just resting on for visual purposes. Need to rig up a pin for rear of tank mount and c cups on the frame.
There’s a brace that needs to be rearrange in order for the seat to go back on. You can see it in the last pic over the rear tire.
Looks like I’m going to be doing some cutting/grinding and welding.
I’m contemplating whether to keep the seat or go the brat tracker look. I’ve always liked the flat tracker look and always wanted one, but after seeing a brat tracker. My brain started to turn.
Bike lives on the the step up in front of my wife’s car. Installed the tennis ball just to be safe
Also another question, if previous owner rattle canned the rims. Is there a way to remove the paint? Would like to get them back to their stock look.
