"Animal's" Legacy of Brutality, TT500 chop

Yep.  Narrow tunnel.

Benelli Enduro 175 apparently (Yinzer's Google fu is most impressive).

Dude that tank is nice. Looks even nicer on that bike and will look even more nice moving down the road.

Very nice tank, widening the tunnel without buggering the chrome is the issue I guess.

[VonYinzer]

How much wider does it need to be?

[JustinLonghorn]

I might hack the front mounts off, close up the front of the tunnel, and mount it as it sits.

[Maritime]

go for it. the lines look good as it sits minus the front mounts, that also makes way less work for you.

How wide is the tank tunnel, and how wide is the top tube?  Perhaps you could cut out the top tube and replace it with a narrow width but deep section rectangular tube to maintain strength.  Might work with the right sizes and wall thickness. Oval tubing is available if you search.

The issue isn't the size of the top tube, it is the top motor mount. The mount adds about 1/4-1/2" on either side of the tube.

Slide it forward a bit on the rail, but this is about what it will look like.
