Here are some better picks of the tank on the cb175. Went and saw my mom up @ the lake on mothersday. Beautiful day and ride. And the road has some killer twisties.

This one was restaurant decor for many many years, hanging in the rafters of a cafe down in Moab, Utah. I'll probably cafe it when I add the other bits I have to make it street legal.
