That's lookin good John.  cooldude Whoda thunk the Valkyrie tank would look that good on that Wing-you obviously.   cooldude Anxious to see the completed package now.  coolsmiley Thinkin outside the box here but maybe a straight tail light fender combination of some sort to compliment the straight lines of the machine and leave a lot of rear tire exposed? You do realize that your bike will have an identity crisis of it's own with those H/D pipes on-Right?  Roll Eyes Again-lookin ever so fine John! RIDE SAFE.

Thanks for the kudos. For the tank to sit solid I fabbed up a raised bracket in front for the forward bolt and added a flat crossmember underneath the back end with a hinge welded to it. Both have a nut welded underneath. Now when I need to get to the fuses or intake filter, etc., I unbolt the front and merely tip the tank up and back. When down it's rock solid in its mount.
