i know theres more!....didnt you do the tank for MikeS' green bike Kuttnhack? or was it just the frame?
i know clothespinnin' did a nice wood one to look like a flatty head in the first build off(i know there are more tanks that people here have built and just not posted...so put them up!)
 
This is the wooden tank I made for my Ross. Just a plank of wood covered with fake leather and a few gauchos. Since I have a few projects ahead of it, it will probably be next years build off bike.

Both of those are classic!!!!
 
Higgins motorized build. Tank mock up, sight glass, and cap. The front of the tank will be trimmed and angle in more to clear the clubman bars that are going on the bike. Tank will be left in raw metal and leather straps used to mount.

Heres one I did. The tank is for sale. Here is another a 20 incher I built it about 12 years ago in Wa. state tank in fiberglass. I came across it after all this time.. on a google search..back east at a bike show somewhere! Fiberglass is great for building tanks. Thanks!
