    Hey Falcon, I'm thinking you'll still be happy with a good running classic GS. Just more frequent opportunity to stop and get compliments on the old girl!

    This song comes to mind.

      the life of Brian always cheers me up. Thanks Roger. I was hoping that a bigger tank would be a much simpler solution. Looking like the gas tanks will be my option this summer. A guy between me and Rick custom makes gas tanks and a finished tank, fits the bike and is between 5-6 gallons is right at $500 quoted. Really reasonable for a complete tank. I have pre-buyers remorse about spending as much on a tank as I did on my bike. I did however already order the gasket for the level sending unit and lent him my old petcock so he could map out a tank drawing to size. I think he sees an opportunity to fills void in a nichce market, as I explained the issue with taking another model tank and making it fit. He said it will fit, be bigger and require no steering, seat or mount mods. Once I have a solid written quote I will know more. Until then 120 miles.
