Faux Tanks…

[Lowe Beau]

Just got this in the mail (along with quadruplets) Color me a bit excited. I’m trying to figure out which ones will get them…Tried one out on an ‘81 Murray Monterey and it doesn’t look too out of place on it. Though I probably need to break out the box cutter and do a bit of trimming. Anyhoo, hope y’all had a chilled out weekend.

There's gotta be a "Show Me Your" thread for faux-tanks. It's a big category.

 

[Lowe Beau]

If not I’d be quite surprised.

 

[Ulu]

Is that fiberglass or ABS plastic? Something else?

Carbon fiber.

Is that fiberglass or ABS plastic? Something else

As advertised to me, I’m inclined to believe they’re plastic. They’re a bit too rigid and heavy to be fiberglass. According to the backstory these were allegedly from the 1970’s

 

[Lowe Beau]

Okay. Not too sure how that happened but I hope that you’re question was answered, Mr. Ulu.

 

[Lowe Beau]

And I meant “your” by the way. I loathe auto fill sometimes

 

[Ulu]

I think autofill is designed to be helpful in appearances, but ultimately it’s like Vegas. You always lose slowly. Unless you’re losing quickly.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Without autofill, who would do all our thinking for us, us? That'd be unthinkable!

Here’s a couple of them on a 60’sish Firestone Speed Cruiser and an ‘81 Murray Monterey (subject to change)
