I went with the 500T tank. Lines are better and the tank holds more gas. Plus the chrome gas lid. The bike will be taking on a new look and colors but not sure when. I did attempt my first rattle can paint job on the side covers.

I stole the look from you Matt! Still have yet to raise the rear of tank or seat. She drives to well to tinker with. That's what my K1 is for.  The petcock is facing the rear still.
