Dangerous, maybe. Cool, no.

 

This thread is the best question for the year.

This has to be the best answer of all time.

 

A glass tank with a severed head floating around in the gas would be the coolest .

 

Maybe like an Obama bobblehead, without the head.

 

Not sure it would look so cool with the fuel injection pump etc inside. But if free of anything inside besides fuel that may be cool.

Not sure I buy into the fact it is more dangerous since a metal tank can pierce open in a crash as easy as a glass tank can bust open. Some glass out there is very very strong, but also very heavy.

 

Yea i remember one of those bike build off shows where someone built a bike with a glass tank. It was the show that gave two guys so much time to build a bike then they had to ride it to where the judging was to be. It didn'blow up. I think he made it out of pyrex. The same stuff that baking dishes are made from. Definatly not for an every day bike but it would be nice to see exactly how much gas you do have. I hate my gas gauge.

 

Sounds good to me!

There are plastics/acrylics out there much stronger than steel. Shatterproof, and less likely to grind down if laid down. I would go for it, where can I buy one for my 99 sporty? But it would stay dirty inside, the gas we get nowadayz is patheticly dirty. Would be nice to see where the dirty gas comes from though, lmao.

 

I like the idea of a clear gas tank.It's been done with dirt bikes for years but they always yellowed.But if you could get a clear tank that looked like glass and wouldn't turn yellow or get all cloudy that would be cool and really practical.

 

They did it on some of the buell's, it did look bad *** except they seemed to get a little foggy on the inside, but definitely gave the bike a cool look.
