Thanks for the comments!
I'm pretty sure it's a custom tank. It's not quite perfectly symmetrical, and the mounting bolts coming from the bottom are not quite perfectly spaced. That being said, it's close enough that no one will notice if it's not pointed out to them. I found it on ebay for a good price, so I don't even know what it was on before I got ahold of it. It's fiberglass, and judging from the gas cap I would hazard a date guess at the late 70s or early 80s? But I'm no expert in such things.
All that being said, everything miraculously lines up perfectly on the Savage. I don't think I could have designed a peanut tank to work better...partially because I would have no idea how to design a peanut tank!
I just heard back from Lancer about cables, so hopefully I'll be able to get the apehangers on it soon! Thanks, Lancer!
And of course, I have the new tail light sitting at home on my kitchen table, waiting for me to mount.
