  I think I removed it since it wasn't really on-topic. The final
product isn't as extreme as the concept sketch, but it still looks
bad as hell. The tank is a "King" Sportster tank with a 3.5 gallon
capacity.

  Yeah, but it's a fun little bike, has necver given me any problems,
and I definitely want it to stand out in a crowd (especially with all
these modern day cookie-cutter choppers nowadays). My buddy Aaron
and I are going seriously "old school" on this one, like when the
bike owner actually did the customizing himself, and didn't just buy
pretty bolt-on shit prefabricated for their machine? Yeah, we're

talking late 60's-early 70's here...

  I'm working on it, man. I'm trying to go for that "photo-
realistic" look, similar to a few of the newer pictures I've
completed and posted here.

  Okay, I'll give you a hint: It's yellow. And no, it's
not "watersports". Have fun guessing (followed by maniacal cackling).
