Flush mounted into the gas tank would be the coolest way, but I would keep it up near the gauges, mounted so that it could easily be detached for safekeeping.

Flush mount would be cool.... but....... for safety reasons I'd recommend mounting it up with the gauge cluster. You don't wanna be riding down the road looking down at the top of your tank rather than out in front of yourself. If your going to all the trouble of molding a new tank why not mold a new gauge cluster and go with all digital gauges.

I got the other side shaped tonight. It actually went pretty good and I still have all my fingers. \\/ I think the next step will be two put a few layers of fiberglass on the foam so that it will be a little easyer to get it smooth.
I do need you guys help with on part though. I've been thinking about making a mount in to the gas tank for my gamin, But I can't decied where I should put it.
The first way would be to flush mount it in to the tank itself.
The second choice is to have a separate mount that would allow it to sit on the top of the gas tank.
I don't have a picture of the third way but I was thinking of making some way to hold it in front of the gauges. So what do you all think. If I do flush mount it into the gas tank I was also thinking about making enough room so that I could also have a digital gauge cluster also molded in.
I like the flushness clean and sexy look.

Flush mount gauges
Flush mount gauges
I like the idea of flush mount gauges. It's really clean. If you actually use them though, it might be kind of a hassle, especially if you wear a full face helmet. I'm pretty tall though so that migh be part of it for me. I keep a map in the clear opening of my tank bag and it is really hard to look at when I'm going down the road. Even for a quick glance. Typically you want that stuff in line of sight. Again, it's a matter of looks or function. Maybe you could wire a heads up display in to your helmet

Don't flushmount it. There's no guarantee that later in the future when you upgrade or replace, that the new unit will be the same size

That was something that I did think about with flush mounting it. And after looking at it some more I don't really like how far down it would have to be to look right. So its back to the drawling board with how to mount the Garmin.
