3 Top Tubes Suck!!!!! Need Tank Ideas!!!!

[lhaolpa]

I,when inspecting my xs400rj,discovered that the tank was shot.Not only full of rust,but of resulting holes.I got on flea-bay,and quickly found a tank from an xs600[I think].It fits with the rubber baby buggy bumpers[say that 10 times quickly]in front,and bolt in back.It is much wider,which will suit me just fine,and is like new inside and out.I chose that particular tank,but there were many others.If you're looking for smaller and streamlined,look for a smaller bike's tank.There is also a site for rat-rods and Bobbers[which I'm considering].good luck lha

Playing around with some tanks and handlebar combinations in my great outdoors garage. Tanks-XJ550, XS750. Like firsttimer mentioned earlier in this thread, coil mounting brackets will have to be removed, also maybe some strategic dents as suggested by Iaregenius in another thread.
