Tank design for my xs650 bobber/board tracker


Well this bikes frame is all one off. Only original parts to the frame are recycled lower engine mounts and the neck. I wanted a really really low long bobber racer look. I originally had an original wassell tank for it but the back bone is so low I d have to almost frisco mount it and that wasn't my flavor for this bike. Got a build it your kit for a narrow alien tank that I was going to modify but wasn't thrilled about that either. So I was getting really worked up on what to do for a tank and the thought came to me. Well I'm using 100 year old lights and old stuff why would I put a wassell on this bike. It needs a board tracker tank! Pulled out the card board and started playin with it. This way I could get a super low tank and clear the motor. Any ideas or input would be awesome!! Let me know what you think, tell me you hate if you need too! I'm nothing special when it comes to sheet metal work but this I think I could pull off. Still playing with it though.
