Custom Tanks
I wanted to share some info on Custom gas tanks for motorized bikes that I meant to include earlier. Guys who are building classic Whizzers may not be interested in this, but those looking for a custom made tank should check out this website.

I spent hours searching and researching the web for anyone who made or sold a decent looking tank. This isn't meant to be critical because I'm sure that some people think that my tank might like stupid or too big or not traditional........ My point is that there isn't a lot of choices out there. Why would anyone want to put a cheap piece of Chinese junk on a classic American made motorbike if you didn't have to?
Anyway, I came across this guy Curt of Anything Goes on eBay. He specializes in custom fabricating motorcycle oil tanks. I figured if he could make those, then he could make a gas tank! I called Curt and told him exactly what I wanted and he called me back the next day with his price.
I sent him my custom rack and he fabricated the Tank, brackets, and welded everything up for me to specification! I think it costed me about $120 and that included shipping. He also takes paypal. I got my tank in about a week! After that it was off to powder coating and than I painted it and added custom made vinyl decals.
One of the reasons I wanted to share my build on this site was to show that building a nice bike was not too difficult and that if you have the desire and the cash anyone can do it. In the past it took people years to build a project like this because it took that long just to acquire the parts you would need. Deep pockets help too! Back in the day you had to go to swap meets or send a quarter and a
s.a.s.e. just to get a parts catalog and wait 4-6 weeks! ( I feel old saying this). Nowdays with the Internet we have access to info at are fingertips.
Anyway, if your looking for a nice custom tank for your bike, give this guy a call!
