jachenbach - I totally agree with you on those flanged jelly mould tanks...They don't do a motorcycle any justice in aesthetics, it is totally distracting and one's eye is constantly drawn to it, just like a cousin of mine that had a toupee, or a spot on someone's face, the eye is somehow drawn to it. It was the first thing I noticed on the "new" Triumph's when the came on the market, it was the first thing I noticed and it put me off completely....
