Pointy Tank On A Curvy - SV650.org

squirrel_hunter · 01-04-15, 10:21 PM

Now I know the answer is anything is possible with the right size hammer. But... I wonder what someone might need to do to put a Pointy tank on a Curvy? And more importantly what it would look like?

Considerations would be how different the front and rear mounting points are? If the lower line of the tank matches the frame? How the seat lines up? And what to do about the fuel pump differences?

Madness I hear you say. So anyone done it?

I think a hammer would be required. But what would it look like? Anybody with a Photoshop able to assist?

Is there any coincidence with this question and the date of the post?
