Just got done mocking the 87 frame with the Road King tank. Ya'll ain't gonna believe how easy this is gonna be to mount to the FireLizard.
Only mod I am really gonna have to do to the FireLizard is cut off these little doohickies and drill a hole.
The tank sitting on the 87 frame. Sorry about how dark the pics are, my garage ain't exactly well lighted.
Space between front of tank and neck. As you can see it's practically the same amount of space as between the stock tank and neck.
Side view with seats on. Front seat rides a little on the back of tank but all that does is give the seat mod we all talk about. Once again, sorry about how dark the pics are.
Another side view.
Top view with seat. (seat shifted a bit before I could get the picture)
I will have to make some spacers for the front as the tangs that the bolt will go through is wider than the FireLizard's back bone. Other than that the mod looks pretty much to be a straight forward swap. Even the seat bolt holes line up to the original mounting points.
Will try to get some better pics later but hopefully these will give you an idea.
