It must be an S3 tank if the fuel injection is retained. I like it a lot.

It was the first of the "wilie G." factory customs, and the first "middleweight" bike built by HD... it combined the sporty-ness of the sportster, and the heavy feel of the FL line. It weighed about 75 pounds more than the sporty, and about 150 lees than a dresser.

AMF killed it fast, though, because of sales numbers, though it planted a seed, that left the "Dyna" line grow to what it is today. It also started a long chain of Willie G. customes.

that gas tank on the X1 is the tank that is under the cover llok at the height of the filler neck. If that is the HighSide racing i think it is, i met the guys at homecomming there real cool guys they were riding down the freeway with there legs crossed on the seat.

Spiderman,
Very good observation!! You seem to be absoulutely correct in that it is the inner fuel tank without cover and then painted. Looks very good from a distance. I wonder how it looks up close? I wonder how hard it is to paint the inner tank?

I don't think that bike hanging from the rafters is a SuperGlide. I think it is an XR750 race bike. Notice the exhaust exiting from the front left side of the rear head. Also, the primary looks a lot like an Iron head XL. You can also see that the cases/transmission are all one piece.

Jeff: I think we're talking about different bikes.

Timmy2: Did you know that the boat tail on the '71 Super Glide was originally a $60 option on the 1970 Sportster? Sad but true. You could get it in solid colors or the red, white and blue "Sparkling America."

Dudes, I think the bike in the rafters is one of Evel Knievel's jumpers--look at the funky pegs!

Buelliedan , it is not hard to paint that tank you just have to make sure it is preped properly and there is a right amouunt of polymers thinner etc.

Damn Spidy...you're just full of useful info. I noticed that about the tank after using that for a backround on my comp. It looks damn good finished. Makes me wonder why more people don't go that route instead of buying all them cheesy tank accents.

probally cause it costs a little bit more and they will have the tank for a week or more plus a lot of high quality shops will charge premo for it

I do wish you would call it a Buell instead of a Harley though.

Buelliedan, We all know its a Buell, but with VR bodywork I just wanted to make look right. Like the race bike. Actually it has Buell all over it.
Johnnybravo, Its an old Aerocharger kit modified. I like it tucked under the bike out of the way.

What protects your turbo from being damaged by a speed bump or other such obstacle. that looks like it could be expensive??

That's a bad machine! That turbo placement looks great. I can't stand how the current Aerochargers mount.

What kinda numbers that bad boy put out?

Buelliedan, I guess it could be problem, but its not too much lower than a muffler.
Johnnybravo, I think the exhaust is just a stock S2, up to the joint on the front left side.
Rick A ,I don't have numbers(yet)
