I just found this sight almost by accident, they make small, spun aluminum fuel tanks that would probably work pretty well on a BSR:

I think I'm going to order one once I pry the credit card out of the CFO's hands... :hammer:

Thanks for the information. It looks like they make a few different styles of them also.

Good find!

I just bought the 2.25 gallon version, planning on fabbing a mount to hang it out over the rear axle on my Pro-Street 'stool.

I have bought several tanks from Coyote...They produce a great product and very fast shipping. I used a 10"x36" on a sandrail that I built, I spent about a month polishing it...It looked almost like chrome when finished.:cool_dude: Snakester

Had some problems with these guys and the way they ship. As near as I can figure the guys a middle man in Nevada or Arizona. His website says he is too busy to talk to customers as he is fabricating tanks. Fabricating B/S as the tank was dropped shipped from Kansas or some other state. Also be careful as there are no baffles in the tanks and the gas is forever sloshing around. ALSO make sure to rinse the tank before mounting. I didn't and a bunch of crap from the maunfacturing process went into the carb................that was fun.

I could have gotten one bigger but I thought it would be a lot easyier to mount and have a place for it.
I am getting so excited about the build, cant wite till all the parts show up.
Went by the local motorcyle shop on Saturday and bought a chrome swivel drink holder....it has to have a place to hold a cocktail.:cheers:
