Well I got the old tank from Shinyribs (Thanks Bud!) and started in on it with the grinder

It looked a little to wide so I took 3/4" out of the center

Stuck it back together again

Do you think it's too tall?

Looks good, but I think I would take an inch out of the height. Are, you going to make a fiberglass mold?

Are you going to fit it up to your new seat?That will dictate your height,not that you didn't already know that.I thought your old setup looked great.How much taller is it than your old rear section.Wow,that thing is crummy inside.Glad you could use it
