In my opinion sportsters are just spatially weird when it comes to oil tank, battery box and rear fender area. The seat/rear motor post always seems to be in the way. I wanted something that looked more like a big twin so I made this horse shoe style tank to cover up the rear down tube.
I started by making a template out of card stock.
Templates turned to steal.
Tack, Tack, Tack all the way around.
Return, vent and filler bungs welded in. I turned some more bungs on the lathe to mount the tank to the frame.
Making clearance for the chain.
