so I noticed a while ago that the lining of my fiberglass roadster tank was starting to bubble loose and decided to try a different larger tank. now that everything is together, i actually prefer the look of the original stock norton (hahaha, sigh), but anyhow here are pictures if you are curious about how a gus kuhn tank can look on a bike....
of course, i suppose a normal install would have involved losing / modifying the rear fender / installing clip ons / different side panels / sitting everything a bit lower on the bike, but i was (a) lazy and (b) wanted everything easily reversible to stock!!
the tank and seat comes from glass from the past - the guy does awesome work and threw in some hardware to help me out, but it all takes a sizeable chunk of time (as iwth most motorcycle related tihngs) so keep that in mind...
