Default Nightster Tank Comparison

Pictures of my NIghster with the stock tank compared with a new unpainted 4.5 gallon tank. Totally changes the look! Obviously done a lot of other changes - 8.5" Apes, Arlen Ness Big Sucker, V&H 2into 1, and a new seat.

Tell me what you think before I go final on the tank!

Oh no! Your going the wrong way! Peanut all the way. The 3.3 is on my to do list. Kind of low on the list, but there.

Go for it.. i like the width of the bigger tank it looks so much better rear view.
However the p-nut tank looks way better side view.But you'll have to paint it to get the full effect.I'd like to see the new tank lifted about an inch,black with the pin stripes.Maybe the photo shop expert on this forum will show us.H

Shame the 4.5 hasnt got the peanuts height. My 2c stick with peanut if solo. If your going to 2 up then swap to the 4.5 easy enough swapping tanks and seats ^.^

The peanut can't be beat as far as aesthetics go some of you may have seen the progress pictures of my bike when I post them from time to time. The current tank was made from an old peanut tank.Nightster Tank Comparison-74502_1698179377124_1317068960_1889876_1928893_n.jpg
