Ok one last try

Hi the tank is about 7" longer. I built it by welding bits of plastic to form the shape I welded it to the standard custom tank using a hot glue gun. I then covered it with fibre glass matting and then built up the layers. I removed the plastic former and back built up any cavaties. it is still open underneath which will take a bike alarm. After cutting a slot at the rear tank fastening it slides into the original position. I shaped the tank using fibreglass filler then apoxy filler, sanding back untill I got the shape I wanted. Its is so strong there is no way it will come a part. There is no problem with spilt fuel as they do make tanks out of fibre glass. The tank still holds the same amount of fuel as the extention is false.
