That looks so friggin cool..... Excuse me while I look for that old Radian tank.... Totally biting that idea... Lol.
 
Last night i decided to try to clean the shop. im in the middle of a few seat builds and the clutter was becomming a issue. After i got the worst of it i turned to my rd befor going to bed, a few mins later i had another 2 1/2 hole through the top and bottom. i ran a hunk of exh pipe through the tank cut it to lenght and welded it out. this tube is the begining of my oil tank. i learned a few things from my last tank simple is the key

This cap will be atop the hole when all is said and done and a small box will be underneath for a res the tube it self is around the size of a small tube of spectro. and should mix a little more than a tank of fuel as it sits.

VERY cool!! I love the "simple is better" approach!! Bravo Bradass!! :D
 
When I saw the first pix w/ that second hole in your tank I thought maybe you were adding a custom and convenient bottle/can/cup holder. :D Great job on a great bike.

ha ha, nope, certainly ain't a harley. 'Bout all you'd be able to do is use a hunk of tubing like a straw and clench your teeth!
