The person who sold me the project runs a actual bike repair shop. He said that the bike I bought, originally came with a gas tank, but it had some special painting on it and he therefore took the tank to a display at the shop. Too bad I don't have a picture of it and I haven't seen the original tank myself. But hopefully I can visit the shop and take a pic just to have it. Anyway, I got a new tank. I'm going to skip some details here but I had to make a quick decision on what kind of tank I wanted and just said that I wanted a wide one, because that much I knew. And it feels like a right bet.
Well there it is then. It feels almost too easy to start with a clean, smooth tank like this since I've seen how much some people put effort into actually making a good tank out of something that looks like it was hit by a train. But let's not celebrate quite yet and remember how much experience I have on installing any sort of tank. So I'm sure there will be just enough work for me even if I don't have to fix the tank itself, because, let's face it; currently I don't have a clue what I'm supposed to do or how it's supposed to be sitting on the frame. But that is just temporary - eventually I will know.
