Wow really like the look. What kinda tank you got and how many gallons does it hold.did you just cut the stock rear fender .sorry for all the ??s but really nice scoot......
Thanks Wyatt, appreciate it. The tank is a one off custom, never ran it empty, so I'm guessing around 5.5 gallons. That is a stock fender with the bat wing cutout.

Bad ass!!!
Nice paint on the tank, who did that?
Nice bird spear air intake (just curious why you face it up and not forward?
I like the cut out on the raer fender just one more project I want to do on my bike.
The Springer forks are awesome did it change the handling at all?
Beautiful machine.

Some believe that facing an air cleaner upwards allows a more even air flow to each cylinder compared to having it face forward. Unfortunately, a dyno of the bike moving, not stationary, would yield different results due to the ram air effect. To each his own...

ANYWAY......Nice freaking bike! :whoop:

Thanks, I appreciate it. The artwork, and paint was done by a local artist called Darren Williams, he has done allot of stuff that has made it on the covers of the various cycle mags.

I use to have the air intake horizontal, but I had issues where it wasn't getting enough air so I had it turned up, and it fixed the issues I was having.

The bike seems to ride and handle a little better now, although I really haven't ridden it much, I just got it back.

I like the springer but personally I didn't like the fender look.

Clearance is too close for my comfort, but to each his own.

Nice build though. :up:

Thanks Slider I appreciate it. As for the fender, do you mean you don't like it with the front fender?

Reaper who made the oneoff tank???
The tank was made by my dealership Gateway Bigdog. The owner of the dealership also owns a custom fab, company that fabricates custom parts for Boeing for use in jet aircraft.
