    PLENTY! LOL It's pretty heavy compared to a normal tank, but it isn't all that heavy. I'm hoping it will help me keep the front end down a little! I'm not good enough to build one out of aluminum yet. Maybe I can take this one down and see if someone with those skills can copy it.

    On the petcock hole, I stuck a piece of rubber all the way through it to keep it from getting clogged. It seemed to work because the hole isn't clogged .

    I've got the Zinger setup on it right now. If this ends up working as good as I'm hoping, then I will be selling it. I have several other parts that along with the Zinger tank will probably be going on ebay.

    I will probably put the stuff on here first and take offers for it then ebay the rest.

    A little update. The first pic is after the first layer of black paint. The second is after 3 coats. The paint is just Rustoleum, but it seems to work pretty well. The sides came out smoother than I thought they were going to. I'll be putting the decals on pretty soon.

    More pics will be coming later.

    Jsimonh, nice job on the build. That thing looks like it's built like a tank, probably weighs as much too. When you're refuelling, make sure you don't spill gas on your Rustoleum finish, because it will soften the paint & then scrape/rub off.

    Nothing else to do really.... On Sunday I will be able to mount it on the Z and see how it's going to look all done up. I think it is going to be pretty sweet, but it's hard to tell without it actually being on the trike. I have to say that I'm really proud of how all the work is paying off.

    Looks nice. You should have maybe had it powder coated though. Just dont spill any gas on the paint and you should be ok.
