For Sale - Odd gas tank

[Kenton]

Sold!! I purchased this thinking that I would use it on a project that I am currently working on. I have since decided to go with a Lowbrow tank. I know nothing about this tank other than it came off of a nitro burning XS hill climber. No dents. No rust inside or out. I wasn't real happy with the seam surrounding the tank. I do feel as though this could be modified to look a little cleaner. Includes gas cap. $100.00 shipped.

Tank is roughly 13" long x 6.5" wide. Very small. Sorry I do not have any pics of it on a bike. Thanks.

Funny you should reply to this ad. Your "Brat" is the inspiration for what I am wanting to build. I really dig your hard tail, too. Which one do you prefer? I haven't ruled out going rigid.

Thank you! I appreciate it Love them both actually and they're both a blast to rip around town in. The brat does ride like a rigid however with the Burly shocks. Only thing I might change would be the swing arm because of the occasional chain slap I get on the under-brace. I already swapped sprockets but still pretty close. Other option is a custom chain guide or delrin guard.

Have a build thread I can follow? Look forward to see which route you go

No build thread yet. I have mainly been purchasing the parts that I want to install on the bike that I have not purchased yet. Ha! I have purchased a VI pre-weld, progressive 412's & a nice set of rain catcher rims. I also have an un-titled 81 frame. I'm also considering an Ardcore hard tail since they are here in Indy. Great bunch of guys that produce a fantastic product. I have been to their facility and checked out their hard tail. Beautiful product. I just don't know if my 46yr old back can handle a bike without suspension. I'm perplexed.

Nice, you can't go wrong with the VI or Ardcore route. Send me your build link when you start it.

Hmmm....on second thought, I went out and double checked.

It appears your mount holes are different than my dads M50 tank, so now I'm not certain what model it fits?

The gas cap is identical, as is the overall shape of the tank....

painted Wassel Peanut for $65??? some punks have all the luck! LOL

i mean, it's cool enough it was on a nitro burning XS hill climber. Being that it was never dented, either the rider was really really good at hilltopping or it never got used much.

either way someone just nabbed a smokin deal on that tank (can you smell my jealousy)

Tank arrived this morning, smooth transaction and shipping from this dude,
Much appreciated. I've got a voodoo vintage frame with a tiny backbone, gonna relocate those front tabs and it looks perfect on my bike
