Use a single bar bike and weld a second bar in if you have to. Lot of the old motorcycles didn't have two bars.

One of the bikes I will be building this winter just won't look right with one of the kit tanks. It is a Jesse James WCC Bike. I think it is the perfect bike for an under the seat tank, so I built an aluminum tank that just fits this Bell Bicycle Bag. Holds just over a quart.

Just wanted to let some of you guys know that are looking for a different style tank: I'm selling these. $90

More info here




These are BRAND NEW vintage gas tank. Great replacement for the kit tanks. We have only a couple of these available. The rough dimensions are 15″x5″x5″. They come with a gas cap. Only available in orange(as shown). Gas volume/capacity at about 1.25 gallons (estimate).

Sweet looking tanks for sure. Here's what I wound up with. I found it on ebay, item number 350240176337. there are a couple left and I bought it for $25 without the cap and valve but they have links to places that have both on the listing. I think it looks good on there. Mounted easily enough and eventually, I'll repaint it to get rid of the flames.
