Freaking outstanding Dyna. Makes me want to put a Sporty tank on my bike right now. Its funny really, my Speedo took a poop and its gonna cost me over 300 bucks to get a new one. I bet I could fab up a Sporty tank similar to yours for the same cash and just forget about the speedo all together. Hummmmmm.............

Outstanding ...!
Raises a lot of questions for me ...
- Where's the battery ...? Did you replace the standard battery with a micro-size replacement battery ...? Is it a magneto ignition with no battery ...? Is that just a small chrome piece to take up the space ...?
- What kind of kick-starter are you using ...? I know Baker makes a kicker for electric start ... is that what you're using ...? What kind of work around did you come up with ...?
- Kudos on a great combination exhaust ... not exactly a real Thunderheader, but the rear end of a 'Thunderheader' grafted onto a more conventional 2-into-1 collector header ....
- Really dig the bobbed rear fender and small brake light ....
- Same for the vintage rubber ... great looking nostalgic Firestone tires ....
Respects

We put the battery in the left side (a V-rod battery), the chrome piece in the right side cover the fuses.
I use a normal kick start with Daytona Twin Tec ignition (with spark to the 1st turn).
The exhaust is a Thunderheader revisited (sorry for my crap english), we cut collector and rewelded it again.
I'll be happy to upload photos of the process.
