Title: Is this a goose tank?
Post by: Seagondollar on March 09, 2015, 09:40:48 AM

Sorry for the not so obvious pun in the subject line, but here's something you can do with old motorcycle parts that have limited re-cycle capability.

They never had flake in the loop frame tanks.  I'd guess it's a 1100 Cali or similar Tonti framed bike.

The front mounting point and general shape are definitely Loop, Tonti frames mount totally different and aren't shaped like that. Paint job isn't original, so flake or not is irrelevant.

Looks expensive those big sculptures! Just noticed the artist uses a hand shift lever in each one of his horse sculptures.  :D
