Looks like the ultra "kewl" Hi rider gas tank to boot !!! 
Are ya also going with the ultra "kewl" hi rider ape hanger handlebars (keeps the armpit hairs cool in the wind) and the ultra "kewl" hi rider seat and sissy bar ??? Hi riders were extremely sparse at the 2011 Empire Rally. 
Though some might disagree, I would sure like to see more of them around, cheers !

The tank came with the bike, I traded an SKS for the paint job. The apehangers are binned, with ''M" bars instead.
I have a Roadster seat from BurtonsBikeBits, as the seat that came with fell apart in my hands. Thanks for the interest.
I sure wouldn't mind a Roadster tank myself.

Hank, why is your battery sitting that way? Do you have the central oil tank?

It looks like you are on your way to having a nice bike made from some pretty ugly material. Please post more pics as you go along, I'm sure we would all like to see how your project gets on.

Isn't the tank the LR 'LongRider' version ?
Looks good.

Kinda dig it the way it was.. do not proceed any further ? Did you get a chance to drive it about on the lawn/parking lot before the teardown/rebuild ? Peter.

The way it was is long gone. The front down tubes were both bent. The left fork tube was bent . The wiring was a crispy mess.
I don't feel so bad not going back to bone stock, it is a miracle it came back at all.
