Congrats on the seat!!! Nice find, I’ve seen them go for over $800 in worse shape.

Thanks all. It did not come hartailed…TC Bros…Picked up the tank, bars, and seat from a guy locally. $60 for all three! super deal. all vintage 70’s stuff. not sure of the bars, just 1″ z’s. Now the seat on the other hand was a special treat…. I has now idea when I picked it up that it was an original Bates seat, sticker still on the bottom, all origaina with not a single tear or crack in the white leather.. wound up putting it up on ebay… Lasted 2 hours and sold for $600 to a guy in the UK. paid for almost all the part I needed to finsh up the mock up… now I just need the time. Heating up the Garage right now to get some welding done.. post more picks soon..

Really like that tank.
Nothing like the looks of a skinny Sportster gas bag…

I like this alot, as basic as it is. Tilt that sissy bar back just a touch to match the bottom angle on the hard tail and that’ll look tits.

I’ve been back a couple of times to look at that tank. Nice aged patina. Nice old seat, too.
