There's a guy in Dumfriesshire (I think) makes custom tanks to order.Damned if I can mind his name tho'!Check your back copies!I know it's not much help but it may ring a bell for you.

i was wondering if there were any bikes made with huge tanks such as the one i am after (so i could maybe source it from a breakers)

i have seen a 7 gallon fatbob style tank on valkyire so they are out there .
i have an idea but can't find out untill monday.
what is it you want though?
the extra fuel capacity or just the looks of a huge fatbob.

Both really
the fattness (to match myself) and the extra fuel capacity
also i will be in the market for some parts
so could you let me know what is the largest size headlight you can get your hands on (also i am looking for some unusual rear lights) no idea what i want but dont want the normal offerings, have you come across anything unusual, (nothing with skulls though)
i will be having similar mudguards to these on the trike below

the techglide tail light is available without a number plate mount
i also do a diamond shaped tail light.
but i only have a pic of it i just took from the catologue . i'm emailing that to you.
plus a pic of a 1300 hayabusa tail light which is different but would have to be mounted in a housing.
the largest bates type headlights i do are 7"
but i do have an 8" in chrome and black, side mounting
will check monday if available in chrome.
i do have some 4.5" chromed plastic headlights i can do a very good deal on.
i can get a triangular headlight but have you got a small mortgage going spare. :(
