Fatbob Tank Adapter
This appears to be an aftermarket add-on. It's welded on at the front and bolted at the rear.

Melted Fuel Line
Whoever worked on this bike thought a clear pvc tube with some plastic wire conduit around it would be a good fuel line to run right between two hot cast iron jugs. Hilarity ensues.

Where the Pipe Goes
Rear exhaust where the pipe was connected, and below that the new gear reduction starter. On the right, the S&S Shorty carb and the jerry-rigged plastic fuel line that ended up melting through on the road
