That's not a '73 tank, I wonder how the PO got that one to fit. The '74 and newer tanks had a narrower tunnel and would not go down over the early frames.
Interesting.

Welcome Porq Chopz. Good to see another Sioux Falls bike on here. It looks like you've got a nice 2-1 exhaust on there. Good luck with the build. Keep us posted.
