- Since I’m going to be making the tunnel deeper, I started by cutting out the bottom of the tank.
-
- Fresh steel!!
-
- I had a donor Harley tank lying around, I decided to use it’s deeper tunnel.
-
- I mated the used tunnel and the fresh steel to make the bottom of the tank.
-
- I reused the petcock mount from the original bottom.
-
- Time to weld in the new tunnel.
-
- Looking good!
-
- I reinforced the mounting points to battle the engine vibrations.
-
- Rear reinforcemented
-
- Making the front tank mount. Just a piece of half inch stock drilled and taped.
-
- I ran the mount through the frame and burned it in.
-
- Preasure checking. Not as manny holes as I though there would be. I chased down all the pin holes for a good seal.
I found this bitchin little tank on Craigslist. It sits a little to high. So I decided to chop it! I kept the chrome in mind while making my adjustments, I don’t know if I will use it later for the finish. I also reinforced the mounting points to battle that Harley Davidson shake.
