Hey y’all, This is my first bike and I’m fairly notice at this stuff so hoping for some advice here!I have an old 1977 XT 500 I just got last month. Luckily there’s not too much wrong with it, it honestly looked like someone just parked it and left it for years. My s/o is a tech so we are slowly fixing her up. It runs just needs some polishing, a few easy replacements and some TLC, but the gas tank was rusted pretty badly.Used a cleaner, but the rust had eaten the metal so thin that there are now three small holes in the tank. So, as crushed as I am, I’m taking this as my opportunity to customize it.I’ve seen a bad ass build where they sourced a CT 175 tank, however those are proving about as difficult (and expensive) to find as the XT.My question for y’all - does anyone have suggestions for other tanks I can look at putting on this thing that will keep the cafe racer aesthetic and not be too chunky?Thank you! via /r/CafeRacers https://www.reddit.com/r/CafeRacers/comments/8lce8x/77_xt500_tank_replacements/?utm_source=ifttt
