| |  Which Tank For OCC
There has always been alot of discussion on the kit tanks. Some bikes they look good on and others they just don't seem to look right. I build all kinds of custom tanks, but they don't always look right either. I tried a couple different looks on this OCC bike and I have had alot of different opinions when people have seen it, so I decided to put the comparison on here to see what people thought.
Give me your honest opinion, Thanks.

I like the one that holds the most fuel, so I can ride longer  |

Personally I'd check ebay for a small used motorcycle tank with a tunnel that would drop over the top bar more. Bit it's a great looking occ either way.

I like both, Does the chain tensioner work on the top of the frame? I am having problems with mine, Beautiful bike, either way!

kit tank has a good blended in look . Custom tank although a beautiful piece of work looks a little futuristic . |

I like the custom tank, although they both look good. Visually the custom tank ties in with your headlight and the shape and direction of the down tube. Yeah, I like that and the fact that it looks less like a kit. I get kind of tired of those motorcycle wannabee tanks. Did you make that tank and out of what material? I lived in an old house a while back that had copper drain pipes. As I stared at one I started seeing a possible bike gas tank with end caps soldered on, but can't figure what you would do for the gas filler neck. Did you make yours or is that something one can buy? I wonder if there is aluminum tubing with end caps. There must be a supplier out there for the gas tank necks and caps. I imagine you're the man to ask. Nice bike!
