It’s from TAB 11 classics,
Their long tank with a flush filler.
Excellent service with a fast turnaround too!

And the tank's finish?

From the pics it looks like it might be nickel plated??

Lovely finish, whatever.

 

[timeandtide]

That's a lovely tank Mikey

Certainly is!

It’s just polished.
Might get tunner to work his magic on it at some point

This bike could be yours!
It will be for sale on completion
I’d take a deposit and build it as a commission.
Far easier spending someone else’s money

Noooo!! Leave as is,

The tank reminds me of the Griso tank with the frame running almost through the side of it

Minimalist paintwork, maybe pinstriping a logo but it does look gorgeous as is.

Ah logos.................probably, IMHO, the best iteration of the logo to come out of the factory. Apologies but it's on my wall so a picture of a picture...........

Reckon it'd look great on an ally tank

Edit: Just found one on the web

[mikeyboy]

Just been sent these pics by my fabricator
Best get the solvol out

 

[chrisshrops]

I’ve vapourblasted the yokes,
Need to make a decision on the top one,just to mod or commission a new one

I had one made by top yokes very slow turn around but a very smart new yoke for renthal bars to sit on

 

[mikeyboy]

Got the seat back from the polishers this week
If anyone is interested in getting involved with this build,ie owning the bike,
Shout up.
Progress will be faster if I’m spending someone else’s cash
