WHAT A TANK!

WHAT IS CHANCES OF USING THE SAVAGE SPEEDOMETER IN THAT CENTER HOLE ???

300 MILES PLUS A FEW, = DREAM COME TRUE

I PUT A SEAT OFF A "SOFT-TAIL" FRONT AND REAR ON MY SAVAGE, THE FRONT ONE GOT REMODLED AT THE GAS TANK END. FELLS GOOD TO SET ON SOMETHING AS WIDE AS I AM.

GET BACK TO ME WITH THE SAVAGE SPEEDOMETER FIT ???

THANKS

With the price of the tank, (including shipping) which was 68 USD and change, the entire mode was about 150 without the peg mod and tach cable I need for the speedo relocate.

It took about two hours to fit the tank.

All I did with the seat was force it down until the holes matched up, but I will need to do some kind of mod to be a bit more comfortable. Will have to get back to you on what I end up doing.

Like I said I am on vacation at the moment in South Carolina and the FireLizard is still in New Mexco. Will be able to get back to the mods and such when I get back there.
