Still sits way above the frame tie bolt, Carb and cylinder head compared to a standard tank, are they steel or aluminium?It's an after market 5 gallon tank. You can't see it to well but it looks the same as this one

It'll look great when your on it Bill..JohnIt's Standard fittings, It's only a mock up, I used rubber cotton reels at the rear, When it was made for my Twin.
But I have made F106 taller for this 500, To get the "D" spring unit to sit better, So now I have to use a standard rear rubber, Because I could not get the tank in !!,
Brother Ron Cut a standard tank in half, and made it 2" Taller, And made an oil tank to go in the right hand side, But Being bigger, I have the same ish amount of Petrol.
I have got the trail set at 5", With the forks hanging down, After many !, Changes of the new Lower Frame tube I have made.
It's coming on well, I love the look of it, I like my Bikes to look different, Even if I never ride it, I love to look at it
as art !.
The frame was off my Special Twin, The seat was off my L/ning rep', The Engine I bought off a Late Friend,
The Tank Ron made 44 years ago, The rear Chrome Stand was off my 1970 Blue Twin, Lots of good times for me to think about. Cheers Bill.
Good job I am over 6 foot, its getting taller by the day. Cheers Bill.It'll look great when your on it Bill..John
