Hello everybody,
I was wondering if anybody could take a close up picture of each side of there 48 tanks from as straight on as possible. I really like the "Sportster" script with the "Harley-Davison" running through it. I would like these pics to play with in photoshop. Preferably a black tank with the orange "Harley-Davidson." I would just go out and take the pictures myself but the dealer near me doesn't have one in and I don't know anyone with one.
I have searched google, and so far could only find one picture that was suitable but unfortunately is was protected so I couldn’t use it.
Thanks,
bt

 

Here is the HD pic. Is this what you are looking for?

 

Thanks bolillo, but I still need a close up, meaning just the tank so I can blow it up.
Thanks anyways.

 

Let me know if these work or what you need different and i can snap new ones. raining in Chicago so I got nuthing better to do!

 

Awesome! Thanks scarpetta, that is exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks a lot.

 

sounds like you have a trick up your sleeve that you about to pull haha

 

Glad to help bar train, I'm a graphic artist as well so I had a fairly good idea what you were after. Would love to see what you do with it!

 

Well, it is not so much of a trick really. I purchased my bike last summer (1997 xl) and it has a really poor paint job on it so I have been playing with paint job ideas ever since. I had an idea for a paint job that was very much like this ever since I saw a guys bike on the xlforum (Sporting Lad). He had a "Sportster" script metal sign bent/moulded to the side of his tank and it looks awesome. You should check it out it is awesome, http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/s...d.php?t=434859. I thought of having this painted on my tank with the words Harley-Davidson below it in HD orange over the underline in the Sportster script. Then HD came out with the 48 and basically used my idea (not that it is super original) before I got the chance to. I am not planning on doing paint until this winter. I have some go-fast work to do first. So I thought it would be just as easy to use the above pictures do design some stencils with the words Harley-Davidson in a different font.
And thanks again scarpetta, I am not a graphic artist by any means, (although I do like to design and sketch) but that is exactly what I was looking for. Nice bike by the way.

 

Ah Id have to create an account to see the thread but good luck with the paint... hope you can get what youre looking for... I love the idea of the 48 theyre cool

 

Anyone have a silver tank on a 48 close up?
