Bobber Build Gas Tank Choices and Metal Fab - HONDA CB650 - Episode 10 

Alright people.....2 hours into the video and it's a close race between tanks #1 and #3. I'm torn at this point. A great comment below is that tank #3 would be a great option for a cafe bike build. Which might very well be my next build. But that's a whole other POLL. Thanks for watching and if want a chance to take this bike home simply click here: bit.ly/cb650bobber

Definitely tank #1. It fits the style the best and the pattern on the sides and top could look really cool painted in an accent color.

#1, 21/2 gallons is sufficient for a bar hopper. #3 is cool but a little to big.

Gas tank #1, fits the bike the best. It's lines flow the best. Tank #2 would fit much better on a slammed bobber with more rake. I had a similar tank on my 88 sporty, which is on a 35° raked Paucho rigid. With the short factory front end, either the first or third tank will be more ideal. In my opinion the third tank would be a better fit on cafe styles bike, or a combination cafe/bobber style build that can be seen in a lot of triumph style bobbers. So in general for me tank #1 has the best lines for what you're building.

Tank #1 for sure!

Your craftsmanship is mind blowing

Tank #1 for me. The second is too small and the third is too big.

My vote is tank #1. #2 doesn't fit the lines of the bike. #3 is just too big. Looks like you fit a bike under a tank.

looking pretty good, i vote for tank #3, you really deserve way more views on your videos, awesome builder, again me and my wife enjoy of this project too.

Use either 1 or 3. I didnt like 3 at first but with the inserts that kinda makes it pop some however you can probably accomplish the same effect with paint also and #1 with the texture would make that harder to accomplish I imagine. Great fab work though.

really like 1 better than the other two. glad you did the right thing with the chain and wheel spacers you are on the right track it will look kick ass when its done. just hint really think if things before welding or just tack them tell you know everything will work.

Roundy tank = No bueno... The quilted peanut all the way!

Gas tank #3 and instead of putting on that rubber pad you should put your personal logo there👍😎

I think that tank number 1 is the best for this build. Number 3 is a cool tank but the indents in the rear don't line up with the lines of the motor and throws it all off. If you stand back with #3 tank on, you can see the back line of the cylinders are in the middle of the indented part of the tank which throws the lines of the bike off imo. It's looking good so far, keep them coming. Later

It's a battle between 1 and 3 for me

for me the third gas tank with a fat tire(not to big just a little bigger than you have now) in the front would go perfect with the whole build ...

1st tank looks the best!!!

Getting there now. Keep up the good work 😎

Number 1 gas tank looks a lot cleaner and matches the rest of the bike

I like number 3 with the rubber pads. It adds to the bike, gives it a cool look.

Tank 1, keep tank 3 for your next build .... the Cafe racer 😎

Tank 1

Tank 3

Tank one

Tank No. 2 looks the best in my opinion, the other ones are just too big. That teardrop shape fits the frame perfectly.

Tank 1 then tank 3

I totally agree with the embossed tank on this bike. Or the third option. The smaller tank makes it look like a mini chopper, but the rake isn’t long enough to pull off the lil tank look. It has a longer rear end now, so I’d make the mid section meaty.

Tank #1

#3 definitely

1 and 3,but seeing the rubber tank grip...ill say gas tank no.3

I’m really enjoying the build I like the last gas tank that Would look cool

A normal person would have put a jack between the hard tail and spread it to the 10 1/8 needed and then welded in the new cross bar to hold it!

Tank 3 for me

I like gas tank #3

#3 for me.

Love the tank Number 3 😎🤙🏼

Building an 80-81’ cb650 bobber, just got the voodoo hard tail in!

3 is dope to me. 1 looks good too. i do not like 2 at all doesnt look good to me personally. If you did 3 with the tank grips it would be the best decision imho.

Tank #1 because it matches your original concept

Definitely tank #1 with the diamond design.

3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like tank 3

Number 2 tank for me

Hi , Tank#1 , best design , best form !

Tank #3 would be my choice. However, it does limit the colour scheme of the bike you could use it with, unless you can buy those rubber pads in different colours. If not then I would go with the first tank.

"it's like 6 o'clock at night...." Pans camera and the sun is at high noon 😂😂😂😂😂

Tank 3!

I dig #3

Does anyone know the manufacturer or name of “gas tank #1” ? I love the way it looks and would love to put it on my next build.

I reckon tank three would be better on a cafe racer but I like the mix up of cafe style bobber look. Tank three for me then tank 1 purely for the style.

Toss up between 1 and 3 for me .

I liked #3 the best.

Number 1 tank!

Tank #3

Congrats on the views!!!

Definitely tank #1

Tank 1 or 3 look really good

Gas tank #1

#3 or #1 gas tank

Gas tank number 2

3

Really like the third tank but need to lift the front of the tank 2 inches and put a sight tube on it

# 3...

Like tank #3

Stretch #2 tank Edit: #3 looks good too

Gas tank #2 looks better to me , the others look to much like your first build. ✌🏻

My personal choice would be tank 3. Tank 1 is awesome for it also....but the higher capacity is VERY useful sooooooo yeah... Tank 3. Save that second tank for a Scrambler Rebuild! ;)

gas tank one looks on point

#3 first choice, #1 second choice

tank fuckin 1 ...great video series moto pilot

Tank #1 and no fender struts

Gas tank #3

Definitely number 3!!!!!!!!

Go with number one or number three and cut the tunnel out and lower the tank over the motor.

I like the 2nd tank, the small round one. The others are tooooo bulky....braaap!

Tank #3 👍🏼🇵🇷

No 3 tank i think

3 without rubbers.

Gas tank #3 all the way!

I’m in love with #1

#1 is really cool but #3 would be ideal for and 80;s Honda

Def #3

Tank 1 get my vote👍

1 but I’m bias because I have that tank on my bike

Tank 3 for friction pads and size.

Tank #3 looks best.

Tank #2

Tank 1 I think

#1 for sure . #2 is too small and #3 is way too big.

Bobbers rock!

Tanque 3

3 because it looks different.

Looking awesome 📸❤️🚀 #3

Tank 2, sporty tanks are too big for that bike

tank #1

Hi Hope you are doing good Awesome Design

1° gas tank is top

Hey boss, curious as to what tank #1 is? I want to swap out my softail tank and I think that is spot on for what I'm looking for.

I like nr 3
