You'd have to get a tank quite a bit narrower to make the handlebars work that low.

Digging it for sure.
Yeah, that's a sportster tank I glued in the pic. I like the peanut shaped tanks anyway and now you can actually fin 3.5 Gal tanks that same shape instead of the 2.5's. I think this bike has the perfect lean for an agressive style bobber & actually having a good amount of power over the traditional small bobbers. I cant wait!! Plus seat, bars & tank..I'm done which is pretty cheap compared to most options.

To me it looks out of proportion. Mock it up with the stock tank, an 18-19" front wheel, and extend the forks to make up for the smaller front.
I wanted to show it as realistic as I actually plan to do it. As of right now I can get this all done for around $500 and most of that will probably go into a custom seat. I may go with taller handle bars, cant decide for sure.

You plan on using a dirt bike/street fighter handle bar or clip-ons?
I'm gonna have to get the tank swapped out first and see what is more comfortable. Clip ons would look extra tough but I wonder if the control would be enough with the weight and rake on this bike. Thats a good question. I'm sure it will be a bump in the road when it comes time for that decision.
