These rubber tank inserts always made me chuckle. I mean, if you are having to hold on with your knees, I think you are doing it wrong (though I have had a few short exciting episodes where I was trying to hang on with my bunghole). That doesn't work of course, but the effort is totally involuntary.  |

That cream and black with gold pinstriping Husqvarna tank is amongst my favorites of the 60 presented. Now if you could find and post a similar number of full on custom tanks! Remember the coffin tanks of the 60s and 70s? RIDE SAFE.

That Husky tank was pretty cool. Remember these ? I always liked them.  |

I like the M1-A1  Jess, the knee pads are for pushing the bike from side to side, as well as gripping. Overkill? Maybe. You don't see a lot on factory works road racers. I think the padding is in the racing suits now. |

I've always appreciated the geometry and craftsmanship of the 8.5 gallon supersized Boss Hoss fuel tank.  |

LONG time ago-I were still in my teens-a former friend did some Serious pin striping on my 59 Desoto-I SAID it were a long time ago-and on each front fender lower portion behind the front wheels Snuffy Smiff with a jug! Sad part is I believe I do NOT even have a picture of that work.  Hand laying pin striping like that is an acquired skill-hard to teach-you either have "it" or ya don't. RIDE SAFE. |
