Hey folk,
I've been wondering if you could hook me up with some ideas of how to put a Sportster tank on the XS without major mods to the frame.
Basically, this is how I want the tank to sit on the frame, I like the Frisco look to it.
I could weld some plates to the front and reuse the original tank mounts, but how should I fix the tank in the back?
Also, there are at least two regular styles of how a Sportster tank is supposed to be mounted:
and
while the lower picture shows how mine looks like but if necessary, I'd get myself another tank.
Any hints or tricks?
I can't just drill the frame and put some bolts through it due to our laws here in Germany, but I might weld some small tabs to the frame if it's not too obvious.
