The stretched version of the tank looks killer -- it gives the bike a cool race look.

Nice keg... I mean oil tank.  :D

Not being of 750 stock can someone tell me the minimum capacity for the oil tank?

That question seems to be its own can o' worms when I was polling the masses about positioning my tank here

I swooped a full assembly-disc,rotor,MC- off ebay for around $35... it was from a K8 so as to be sure it matches up
Thanks for the offer though!

You can have my tach for however many tallboys you think its worth, send me a PM

dont suppose you'd like to part with that factory exhaust? i'm wanting to get rid of the kerker i have and go with a 4-4 again. maybe cut the mufflers down short get rid of the stock baffles and weld up revers cones on the ends.
