Well that tank is what Philippe has on his bike, right? He might give you the scoop on how to do it

Finally warm enough to get the bike out.
It.is to much trouble and work to get one running so I just haul it around on the trailer.
I still get the "oh I remember those comments" and people wanting to talk about them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well we made it home fine. I added more pics so those born after the seventy's could see how many(not all) of the bikes "looked". Jacked up front, king and queen seating, aftermarket straight pipes. I didn't talk with the original owner but I believe these changes were made at the dealers and probably came from dealer like this special order.
The paint and chrome side covers and "special" wiring done by the po's.
Anyone want to guess what the little electric gizmo is in the last shot?
----------------------------------------------------------------
sidebar for those having trouble with multiple pics in a post.
All cameras and most phone now take multiple mega pixel pictures now(mine are all 4+ mega pix).
These are converted to a smaller size by the software.
Uploaded and attached one at a time the software it doesn't have a problem it just takes abit. If you choose 6 large files the software chokes every time(ime).
Uploaded one at a time there doesn't seem to be a limit.
