Beautiful bike!
What type of gas tank do you have?
Did somebody reworked it or did you buy it like that?

Sweet ride!
I especially like the pillion backrest and luggage rack (I have children). Is it custom?

I was told that the tank is a Ray Randolph creation and that he built it specifically for sidehack racing. There's no way for me to confirm this because unfortunately Mr. Randolph has passed away but he did make many custom tanks for "K" bikes and from what I know he only used aluminum which is the material used in the construction of this tank and the craftsmanship is top notch. Also from what I understand Mr. Randolph was a Texan and this bike ended up in a dealership around the Austin area. Somehow the tank ended up on this bike. It holds approximately 8 gallons or so. Great for the long haul.
The tank and the backrest/luggage rack were already on the bike when my father-in-law bought about ten years ago.
I appreciate the comments!
