Is that a factory blue? To bad the available light wasn't better,looked like it was overcast,that blue looks like it stands out in the sun.

So did you dent your old tank because it's sitting too high? It looks like it is sitting on top of the supports on the frame backbone rather than with those bars in the slots under the tank.

The previous owner dented it. He had drag bars on there.

As far as it sitting too high, I don't think so, but I guess it's possible.

Yeah, I wish the light had been better. That blue really blazes in the sun. Grapeman can tell you better the origin. I bought the tank from him.

It came off my 2006 Speedmaster. They call it Jet Black & Neon Blue. Looks sharp in the light!
