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!
