Skinny-minnie fatbobs

Milwaukee Tommy Gun wanted a super skinny set of fatbobs, so that's exactly what I fabbed up for him. Tommy also wanted to use his catseye dash panel, so I had to watch the new filler neck placement, so there was room between them to mount up the dash when they were finished. I jussssst made it!

Don't worry, no OEM 3 1/2 gallon tank halves were harmed or molested in any way for this project. The parts are all new tank stampings that I narrowed, and the filler necks, gas caps, and mounting brackets are all OEM-style repop pieces.


They kinda remind me of WR tanks a little bit If you know the width and length of a Harley catseye dash panel, then you can really visualize from the above photos, the width and length of these tank halves in relation to the dash dimensions.

How much do they hold now?

Thats awesome. I really like the narrowness of my 3.2 gal Panhead tanks. These have a stouter profile look to them.

How much do they hold? I dunno - maybe a guesstimate of like somewhere between 2-2 1/2 gallons.

Neato. I always liked cut down fat bobs. Did you start with Paugcho Mustang tanks?

Mustang tanks? No.
