    The tank has the exact length as the Tribal Fusion bike. Here it is a better picture to see how it looks. Yes, there is still a little area that needs to be worked (the one you mentioned) and the guys are the shop will do it to make the tank perfectly curvy.



    Other then that, I think they did an amazing job, very happy with it. The seat will be done here in Montreal, by a biker guy who does only seats. His name is Stephane Jean and he is known by all bikers in Quebec. He will measure my weight and body position so I can reach properly the stretched forward controls I have installed on my bike.

    Just about to have the tank shipped. Once the body guys finished the final touchups, the "broken like" knees were completely gone. Very satisfied with the job done by BMS, even if I had to call them several times to get the knees taken care properly. Jared is a great guy, he really wanted to make me happy. I recommend you to talk to him (800-940-3000 ext. 3) if you plan to order anything from BMS.

    That looks MUCH nicer now.  Looking forward to pix with the new seat.

    I agree. When you take the picture at 45degrees, it does not show at all the broken knees we saw in earlier pics. However, taking the picture at this angle makes the tank look extremely long. In reality is not, you can see it from the side profile. I am definitely satisfied, it will look awesome with a blue fire paint on it.

     HeyTECK!

    Did anyone ask about how the tank mounts. Did you relocate the mounting points to the side of the frame? where it would be accessable?

    thanks

    The modified tank uses the original bracket, bolted on the original frame location. I will take pictures before and after I mount the tank on my bike. It will have to wait a little, this is a winter project and I still have to finish first the front fender. Smile
