Which tank looks better: The black/gold tank or the solid black stock tank? Just can't decide...

| I love the look of the black and gold, but it sorta clashes with the white in the checkerboard on the seat. I'd go with an all black seat and run the black/gold tank.

Yeah that's what I was afraid of. Now to find some black upholstery!

Yeah, black and gold tank clashes with the checkerboard seat. Send me the black and gold tank, if it's 3.9 gallons. Ha!

Black for that style & seat methinks..
Do what I do & swap the tanks over every couple of weeks, youll soon trick yourself into believing they're two different bikes...Mine goes a lot faster with the silver tank on

I ride with a different attitude with my black tank...it's my "I don't give a f_ck" tank...cigarette dangling...
Seriously though, I am going to try to take my stock seat and trim down the seat pan to more of a brit-style seat and recover. Black Leather this time. Those will be my only two bikes....

I'm working on my all-black leather seat. Found another old leather jacket and took the original stock 2-up seat pad and pan and I am chopping it down to look like a stock older flat/brit seat. I'll post pics this weekend on my progress. I think it's gonna look pretty good!
This seat may run well into the $25 range!!!
