Appreciate the info Zag. I thought about perhaps leaving the area open for the intake filter. Plan on grabbing up a 4 to 1 intake and putting a VW pict on there. Should get a bit more clearance under the rails from it, not to mention the help with fuel air ratios. Just no idea what I would do there without a tank. I don't really want it too exposed as I have 4 crazy kids that love to put crap in places it doesn't belong lol

I'm not to sure on the tire brand haha I would have to check, but yeah it is for sure a chunk missing out of it. May or may not have had a little driveway fun with it. Zag, I thought about keeping the old tank on it, and maybe doing a sort of fake tank that would actually be storage for my wallet and smokes. Also thought about putting an oil tank there and doing an actual tank. there's just so many routes I could take I feel like a kid in a toy store lmao

This is where she is at the moment. While I realize some people prefer other bike to create their own projects for, And everyone has their own tastes and opinions, I respect that. However, My vision of a bobber is not limited by the size of an engine, or a make and model. I prefer Yamaha frames for what I want to create, and feel that the old venture royale's have an epic structure to build a beast on. I've basically came to a fork in the road as far as my tank dilemma goes. Either I get a frame saver and weld it on so I can just plug and play with any tank I can find, or I get a split tank and have a buddy of mine who owns a fab shop do some tinkering to make it bolt onto the frame where the old plastics were. Either way, nothing should hinder the carb area or the battery placement. I plan on doing away with the 4 carbs anyways, and putting a low profile intake manifold on there that would reduce it all to a single VW pict carb. Should have more than enough room under the tank, especially with the tank riding above the frame rails. I can't get this site to upload the photo, so I have uploaded it to imgur and will post the link in the end of this reply. I thank everyone for offering some insight and help with this, and I realize that while some may like what I am doing others won't, and that is ok. My bike isn't for anyone else lol Hopefully this coronavirus crap disappears so I can start ordering my parts again. Hoping to get this someone finished before the local rally next Labor day. Hope everyone is safe and enjoying their week! Here is the link to the girl all stripped down to her bare necessities. had to space the dot com so I could add the link i.imgur. com/KYqRAZp.jpg

Yeah I was thinking tht or perhaps a Dyna wide tank. something a bit on the wider side like that. I know I will for sure have to do a bit of fabbing, to get it to mount on the double neck frame, Just finding something that would have the room needed for the batt and the carb is the tricky part.

Recently bought and began stripping down a Venture Royale 1300. Looking to get an actual gas tank put on it, wondered if any of you might know a good swap.
