- 1915 Gas Tank HD Grey
  original paint gas tank. This color started in 1912 or 13. This identified as a 1915 tank because of the shift gate and flat side.
  I found this tank in a barn, hanging on a wall next to the bike which the owner is re-assembling, he was gracious enough to allow me to inspect it. Warrs H-D needed this info for a restoration they were doing.
- Side view of the tank, the Dark stripe is Blue and is 3/4 inch wide. The Red stripe is 1/16th wide, and actually a Vermillion red. The Gold stripe is 1/32nd wide and is Gold not a yellow.
