Addicted to Prism Tanks

My name is Digger... and I'm addicted to Prism fuel tanks.

I just scored this off eBay 'cause I needed a fix!

I love this one and I've seen them up for auction once in a while, but they command a high price.

My name is Stev-o and I like to help my buddy Digger spend money on prism tanks!

Thanks Stev-o, for ensuring that I will not have to worry about getting sciatica due to an extremely heavy wallet, nor will I have to worry about diversifying my portfolio, or any of the countless other burdens that the rich alone have to bear.

Yeah, I know.  I tried to get some help for my problem, but Bob Saget ridiculed me; asking me if I've ever sucked d*ck for prism tanks?!?



I just lowered my head... too ashamed to answer either way...

Someone needs to cut one of those up where the two sections meet, split them length ways and make some patterns up, they would be quite simple to make....MMMM and would be great in stainless.... ;D Or Aluminum.... ;)

If he wants $50, don't even worry about pictures, just pick them up for me.  I'll surely send you the money.

I have one very similar to that, direct bolt on to cb750 stock frame, but it's got the lumpiest crap bodywork I have ever seen in my life, it is fiberglass and has been repaired...badly
If it works good, it looks good...
