damn thats a long tank. I've seen people make these. take 2 tanks and weld them together. and it looks just like that. that way you could make it as a long or short as you want.

Your best bet would just be to make it. If the people in those photos did buy their tanks, it was probably somewhere in europe since I think both those bikes have plates from somewhere "over the pond".

It would be cool to make the back half the oil tank.

This place has some really cool tanks, if you can afford shipping from Australia :)

The Cotton Telstar tank on the 175 looks pretty close as far as shape.

This is a Read Titan tank. Had one on one of my previous bikes. Bit too long for me. A a bit small in the seat area, but that is perhaps something to do with me.
