Been cleaning out and sorting in the old sheds...and came up with these candidates for my future 'chopper pre-unit Triumph' project...I've referred to a time or too. These days the kids would probably refer to it as a 'Bobber'...but I prefer 'chop'...
Via 'instagram' Olivia says go with the middle tank...which is the one I'm leaning towards meself... the old peanut tank with the lead and bondo repairs is kinda on the smallish 'bar-hopper' scale. The Sportster tank is 'trying to look like a Harley' ish. The middle one...an AMF era Sprint tank (I believe ), might look cool on a hardtail pre-unit 'Chopper'. Whatcha think?
Ok...this things acting up and driving me crazy....time to post.
Another vote for the middle tank here. I think it is an FXE Superglide tank.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the one in the middle.
ReplyDeleteThe high tunnel bondo tank looks interesting, but you can bet yer petcock I'm voting for the middle tank.
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at more web pics...I believe you are right Joe, about it coming off a Superglide...judgeing by that front mounting arrangement. I like it because it has a scaled down look of a Triumph tank. I also have a Triumph 500 tank that is smaller than a 650 tank, but I think that ones going onto another project...my swing arm bike...so looking like that will be the one.
