Pics of TC Bros "narrow alien tank" or "frisco" tank?

[jt321]

Hey Guys,

Does anyone have a picture of their xs650 with either the tc bros narrow alien tank or the tc bros frisco tank?

Im debating which one to get. I like the shape of the alien tank but im afraid it will look too small.

Hi John,
They are both too small (2.1g vs 2.5g) to be practical but IMHO the Alien tank looks better.
And it's all about looks, right?

A mustang tank looks like a kinda larger alien tank.

On a good running example you'll get over 100 miles on a tank, if your bike is set up with a narrower seat, less padding and or a hardtail a stop to stretch and fill up can be a good. Small brakes like that can actually make longer trips easier.

Of course you can get the same effect without needing to fill up which gives better options and is more utilitarian. Still you don't see too many people strapping 5 gallon fat bobs to their bikes to get more per tank. Generally if that's your thing you'd have gotten a full blown cruiser from the get go.

Myself I always like the art deco lines of the classic sportster tank, still many would consider it to have become passe as a bellybutton item(a victim of its own popularity), so if your trying to stand out from the crowd more, it may not be the best choice.

Not my bike but trying to keep on topic.
