          I'd try to find a couple of polished metal cannisters of some sort such as fire extinguishers and rig those up to hold gas, or perhaps an old six gallon gas tank used for outboard motors.

          I identify as a man but according to the label on a package of Stauffers Baked Lasagne I'm actually a family of four!

            The exhaust is a MAC 2 into 1 + 2 into 1. Great access to the oil filter and the cam chain tensioner. Relatively quiet but throaty. The windshield is a National that I picked up used for $10.00 at a swap meet.

              LAB3, this bike did, in fact, have two fire extinguishers for gas tanks. They were so horribly constructed with RTV glued-in fittings that I tossed them before the photo shoot. This guy was a Hack Master with very limited talent. But I can't complain because I got the bike for free. With a title. Great motor and tranny. Also used the carbs after rebuilding. I now travel the earth with equipment that was once dead.

                The MACs. Rare pipe.
