A fresh set of tins on my softail
I started out keeping an eye on ebay for another set of tins that i would have painted black i did manage to get a rear fender and a pair of dented tanks so wife took the tanks to her work to get the dents pulled out she left that job and went elsewhere and the engineer that had the tanks left a wee while later and she had lost touch with the tanks and the engineer I eventually found another pair of tanks at a price i was happy to pay and when the arrived i was surprised at the very good condition of the pair of tanks they came off a 97 heritage softail colour sinister blue pearl I took my rear fender tanks and an aftermarket front fender to a local ford dealer and asked the paint shop if they could match the colour of the tanks on the fenders One weird thing i found out during this process was the cruiser of the softail family the softail custom has a 5.2 gallon tank and the touring model the heritage softail has a 4.2 gallon tank so i have lost a wee bit of range but the bike looks a lot better Brian

Re: A fresh set of tins on my softail
Nice job Brian, refreshing to see a classic bike like that with the factory cross over still in place

Re: A fresh set of tins on my softail
I agree with everyone, great looking bike. Also as Jack said that classic crossover pipe is a keeper.

Re: A fresh set of tins on my softail
I also like the look of the stock exhaust system with the cross over pipe and the classic shape of the mufflers and i do have 3 sets of the mufflers 1 set stock (for M.O.T. inspection) 1 set that flows a bit better and 1 set that have no restriction at all
I tend to use the mid way set most of the time Brian
