See I like the spindly bare bones look. The chopper I built , rode for years and love has the king sportster tank with shallow tunnel so it sits on top of the frame rail. I love that look. The same bike I have in photo post in front of the Studebaker we were talking about. I do build them all differently though , I have one with a crazy long girder on it with fat bob tanks almost touching the top of the engine, another with super short front end and deep tunnel peanut tank but frame stretched so long it's over 8' long.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
