does this tank make my bike look stupid?

I'm prepared for the inevitable criticism, so let's have it!

Found this one gallon can at Restore a couple weeks ago. With tongue firmly in cheek, I think this is perfect for my mini bar hopper

OMG, hope you are just kidding.

Hell, slap a petcock on there and you're good to go.

Remove the warning sticker (like everyone else here) and paint it black.

I am completely serious. Gonna swap out the 4" z bars for some 14" apes. Might lose the front brake. Thinking of a metal seat with a No Parking sign decal on it. Rear fender is in jeopardy too.

You need front brake......these bikes have a very poor back brake.

I LOVE IT!!! paint it black and weld that b*&$^ on there! Give it that rat-rod feel!

I've got a wooden seat on mine right now and I think it looks great...forget what anyone else says about it.

I'm sooooooo tired of black motorcycles. If I wuss out and paint it, the color will drown out the gas tank

Then paint it pink. Whatever makes you happy is the color you should pain it. I've always been a fan a of a dark forest green. My first car, a 65 mustang, was the same. It's still dark but not black. just a thought
