Since my last pics, I've added a front fender, right crashguard, crashguard footpegs, a tool purse, windshield, and some laced on leather to fill in some space beetween frame on front. I also have a quick removable blonde headed little punk in the third pic.
The leather laced into the frame spaces really work on that bike! I was pretty skeptical at first of the full on 33 lb tank, but now I see the total picture. Very cool! You tied everything in just right!

If you refill it, maybe you could rework the top flange to make it shorter and move the tank a few inches forward to give yourself a little more room?

I can do it either way but the proper legal way is to remove the tank and weigh it. I can flip the two locks and unhook quick disconect in less than 45 seconds so its no problem to remove.
I have plenty of room myself and I don't want to modify the tank because if on the road, someone else may not fill it after its modified. I probly would'nt fill one for someone else if it theirs were modified.
That's what happens when you don't know what you're talking about.

If you use a "Mr Fusion", you can run it on banana peals and stale beer!
You might want to skip the "Flux Capacitor" that thing seemed to always get its owners in trouble.
I saw on another forum where someone had wanted to do what i have done. One guys reply was that he was gonna make a bike that ran on farts and giggle juice.

The tank in the pic is beed blasted but, I have a smooth tank that I can do some high polish on. I'm still considering that but, I'm worried about the glare it may put in my eyes as I'm driving.
The round profile of the tank would deflect most of the glare. You would only get a sliver, and on sunny days you're probably in sunglasses anyways. Polish the other tank! Can always switch back and forth depending on the weather!
