Hey Jeff...saw this tank at Benjies Cafe Racers. Specifically made for sportsters. On a '76 Ironhead. No frame mods required Seat was shortened from the one they sell
A bit pricey at $650 but he does make quality pats. Benjie's Cafe Racers  http://www.benjiescaferacer.com/combo-fiberglass-sportster.php

I think what would be really cool would be a bare aluminum tank. Dreaming, I know...

This has been going on in my head. A 75o two stroke triple from the early 70's in a modern chassis.
