Stinger is correct, the tank and head covers blend superbly. Do you run a Baron Bullet tachometer Art teacher?

Yes I do. There is only one problemwith it- mine has the black face to match the speedo, but it does not illuminate properly at night.

Wow. It looks pretty stunning. I definitely am a fan of the tank. I dont think I can keep the chrome tank look on a cafe racer bike, but you can pull it off pretty well. Good work.

Yes, Artteacher and I am cursed the same way. I had a cheap generic thing installed on mine. Wish I'd got white face, black dial, which I could probably have had for the same money.

I like the look of the Tank Arteacher  Cool

I too bought a tach with a black face, but mine was dented when I received it and the eBay seller sent be a different one with the white face instead. Maybe it was the better of the two options, because I can see it clearly after dark.

I remember buying an Hodaka just because of the chrome tank. I bought a junked BSA500 because of the chrome tank. It didn't have a dent or scratch and I found a place that had replacement badges. I worked a lot of overtime for 3 years and didn't have time to start on it. One day a guy walked in and offered me $200 more than I paid for it. He left with it. I probably would never have ridden it because of the reversed controls but she sure was purdy to look at.

I like it and have admired Bot's tank for some time.
Now I can admire yours as well..
Had an assistant Mgr few years back. He rides a HD.
Just about everything was chrome on his bike. I warned
him of being a hazard on sunny days.
Of course here we don't have as many sunny days as in Az..
So not so much of a hazard..Smiley kim
