Backwards Tank? (not kouba's) - Road Star Warrior Forum : Yamaha Star Warrior Forums

Luv2LafMcc · 11-16-2012, 06:52 PM

I've seen Kouba's backward mounted tank ( Album )...inventive and surprisingly, I really like it. I think I prefer it without the additional armoring, but over all, great thinking outside the box.

I found the bike below, which is the only other "backward tank" warrior Ive seen. Does anyone know if its someone from here? I don't think it's Kouba's...and I believe its from overseas as i found it on a French forum dated 2006.

Looks REALLY low slung with grips directly on the tube ends...some vmax intakes...static rear fender mounted onto the swing arm...a lot going on...a lot of effort.

Definitely outside of the box. It's an eye catcher for sure.

I like the idea of using vmax runners for the air intake system. The narrow end of the tank gives extra clearance for this. Great example of "outside of the box" approach. I have been looking for a set of these runners! None available in my part of the woods.
