tank installed
Finally got the tank and shot a quick coat of paint. It is noticibly wider, feels funny when the leg hits it... Its a direct bolt up, just gotta remember to get back underneath and plug the darn vent tube...

Looks really nice! I'm glad you posted a picture. I'm thinking of changing the color of my bike, but if I do the gas tank might get bigger  .
Do I have to strip the old paint color, or can I paint over it? Which is better.?

It's really best to strip the paint completely so you don't have conflict in paint types. But, a good primer will also take care of that issue...

Cagie, want to post what tank you got here so folks can see the results? Really works well with the rest of the bike.

I dug up this thread during a forums search. Can you please tell me what tank you used? It looks fantastic, as does the rest of the bike!
