I'm going to see if I can get it fixed. So, I'm sticking with the stock tank just for a little while.

I hear ya.When I did mine there weren't any/very many.But with the backbone on the Savage you're pretty much limited.I'm eventually going to redo the backbone on one of mine.I have the same tank Lancer has on his bike.Wasn't trying to copy his.I bought the tank for another build but sold it.I also have an old coffin tank,but it's a little long for the stock frame.

Not to mention it was on sale. I cut out the stock cap bung and put in an Aircraft style cap though because I went to school for Aviation and worked for an FBO so it was to remind me of those days.

Hence why I said WORKED lol.. I got out of that JOKE of a career. Stupid towel heads ruined my life so thanks for that. I work in Engineering now, so I guess it isn't all bad. I wasn't about to keep moving around chasing a job market that just keep getting worse.

Guess I might need to stick with a sporty tank after all.

True, but I'm not a welder and I really want to get this thing finished and on the road.

Scott what muffler is this?

Ralfy and others, FYI. I've had people tell me the Cherry Bomb we grew up with is no longer available. It is available From Maremont who bought the company. They are cheap and a couple come in 1 3/4" inlet. Of course, I doubt they come in chrome. Google "Maremont" and keep clicking on the red muffs. Some on here have glasspacks painted different colors.

Re: Your thoughts on these two tanks Reply #28 - 11/30/10 at 07:27:19 Ive seen dent fixin stuff for rent at the rental places. PLayin with GAS tanks requires some serious prep work. GAS makes loud noises & hurts peolpe if not dealt with right.
