If I could only find a tank for mine. You are very lucky to have one. If you ever find another let me know.

thx
your is def a S/L looks great!,i believe mine is a 63 hence the springer frontend,after i took the picture , i took the tank off and "split" it apart (molded in 2 pieces)to try a minor resto on it,i'll post some pics tonite before i redo it ,it wraps around the headtube then i think it just snaps on with a small chrome retainer around the downtube(which i do not have)holding it tight, i will have to use something in its place,it almost looks like a small chrome napkin holder :idea: :roll:
 
You have seen it before, but it is a Spaceliner, so here it is again.

great pics... thanks so much... not sure on the lens, but could you use an acrlic picture frame , i seen the clear frames and Walmart, looks like soem cutting and maybe so light heat might be able to make one? Good luck
