gas tank for occ chopper.

Hey EDWEIRD,

I have been looking around also. The little kit tank does not quite fit the look. I can't provide any pictures just yet, but I have seen several tanks online that fit the bill. Mostly in the Mini-chopper web sites.
I'll find some to post later, If you find some, please let everyone else know as well.

The best look I"ve seen is one made out of the tank off of a Jesse James chopper bike. I'm working on a couple tanks. One for behind the seat made out of a mini beer keg from Midwest brewing and a coffin tank made out of a 5 gallon kerosene can. Search ebay for enduro tank or bike gas tank and you'll find a lot of possibilities. The problem is finding one that costs less than my car is worth. First I'm concentrating on trying to make something useful out of the Barry motor mount. I don't know how to post pics on here but this is the look I'm going for.
