ok so someone took my tank and chain guard-LONG STORY.
what other tank can I put on this bike?
will a SCHWINN PHANTOM tank fit?
and who has one?in almost any shape.....

yep, a phantom tank, real or repop will go right on there. I used a repop for my old Schwinn because I could never find a real one. Then I bought the horn unit from memory lane classics for 20 bucks. The tank was 48 bucks at the Schwinn shop. I took the decals off to make it solid chrome, then painted it to match the bike later.

can you post a link to that place for the tank?

I'm not positive but that tank might not fit your Fleet unless you remove/modify the clips that hold that tank. I've never tried a full size tank on a clip frame bike. Gary

I can't help but-

Did someone jack the tank and guard right off your bike? That's pretty bad.

ya when it was parked on the street

I didn't know your bike has a clip for that tank, so I might be wrong. You might find that same kind of tank, they always get parts coming and going at Memory Lane Classics. This is what they show on the miscellaneous page, but it probably looks a lot different now. You might be able to remove the clip or modify it for the standard Schwinn tank, unless you wanted to keep it original.

Sorry about the bad info on my first post. I thought that tank just attached like a standard tank.

You could always build something out of wood, shape it and paint it to match. You could also fabricate or have something specifically made for it.

it is cool I can make clips that will work....to hold it on.Does anyone have a pic of how the clips look that hold on the phantom tank?
I have no prob making or fabbing clips....

You missed my point. The Phantom tank doesn't need clips, the brackets are built into the tank. What I was saying is that the clips that are on your frame now might be in the way of putting on the Phantom tanks. I'm not positive, though. You may have to grind the clips off or modify the ones on your frame to get the Phantom tank to fit. Gary

[Wildcat]

Does your frame have clips or brackets in the area where the tank went?
