Looks great. I would like to make mine look like the old GSXR race tanks. The ones with the dual caps on it.

My Kat one. Not sure if it can be done though. Might not be enough room or metal to do it.

Damn, that is sharp. I always loved the way you fabricated the tank with the filler . It keeps the classic look but modern filler

[HS2020]

It could probably be done if it was slightly raised with a lip all the way around the edge of the fillers and it was set slightly forward on the tank. I think it would look great!

I might have to find a spare tank and send it to you to play with.

That looks great. Are you using the opening from another bikes tank and welding it into the Kat tank?

I am not sure that a gixer had a dual filler but here is a couple of pix of old gixer tanks HS2020

This and the other tank are for two MORE 82 kats

The race tank is what I am talking about Thom. I do not think the stock bike you buy had them. I know the race bikes had them. Just think they are cool looking.

This is how my first one looked painted up. The one at the start of this thread is currently at the painter and the third one is welded, but I have some other plans for it before it gets final paint.
