It wasn't a real concern in the design, the shape works for me. I surprisingly find it comfortable and no bum discomfort at all, but my carpel tunnel kicks in pretty fast but it does on any bike these days.

Been slow progress but this year has sucked. Started on the tank again today.
Put together a thread on the tank process to date.

Sorting out a hinge for the tank I used 2mm plate so I could bend it for adjustment and now alignment is good I can start gusseting to add strength and rigidity. The tank is looking a little worse but that's just because I have been hammering and massaging the welds.
