I wouldn't be opposed to a custom gas tank but the one this guy has just looks really bad.  It probably has a terrible range also looks like it hold almost no gas.

Fugly!

I have thought about custom tanks, but nothing quite that crappy has ever crossed my mind.

I once made a custom tank for my dirt bike to give it more range, it wasn't pretty but I feel much better about it after seeing that POS!!!  :thumb:

Im no newb to weird gas tank mods. Ive once attached a 1 gallon gas can to a '78 KZ400 with a hole drilled in it for the fuel tube. Rode that around mainly for testing purposes until the tank was finished. Lots of weird looks.....

i almost made a custom tank for my bike way back when i got it cause it was so rusty inside, and i had plenty of means to make a nice tank at school, but i decided i should get it running right before any cosmetic changes take place. and since then ive had too much fun riding to want to take time to make a tank haha

EDIT: but it wasnt gonna look anything like that one.

If I was to consider it, I would consider that freaking disgusting.

The stock tank does look better, but I think for a rat bike that looks pretty awesome.  :icon_mrgreen:

Well I'm on all of your sides, it is completely ugly, but it would shave some weight  :)

It is ugly but it looks even more ugly only being on one side.  At least balance the crap look on both sides.  I think a custom tank could be made to look good.  Not out of an oxygen bottle or whatever else that is.  Some hospital is prolly looking for their crap cuz the guy in rm 210 is missing his O2 bottle.   :dunno_black:
