Thought I'd share this idea for those of you who don't like the look of a gas tank on the front bar. To me, it just didn't work and took away from the appeal of the bike.
So I simply got a 6 pack cooler bag w/ the plastic insert, a lawn mower gas tank, extra fuel line, a Schwinn free standing back rack, an in-line pep-cock valve, an hour of time and created a concealed gas tank w/ front and side pockets w/ extra storage!!
The top even unzips and expands to an extra 4 inches if needed.
With the extra room, I should be able to fit a tank over a 1/2 gallon if I decide to do so.
I understand it's not for everybody, but I haven't seen anyone else do it yet. So now at least, you can see a visual picture of what it would look like.
And say to yourself, "how cool is that" or "dude, that's seriously lame".

- Added extra line so I can fill up w/out spilling on the bag or the bike.
- Drilled through the bag and rack - sandwiched everything w/ big washers on the underside and bar stock on top.
- In line pep-cock valve w/ fuel line ran through the rack and into the bag.
Let me know what you think:::
thanks,

PS: - maiden voyage is tomorrow if it doesn't rain again.
