For the record "flat" or "dip" does not coincide with ff or sf it depends on the tank and the person for example sure u can do an r6 in a flat top but it would be almost impossible to do anything becaus of how the tank is shaped on the underside a full flat top makes u sit so high it's not even funny u can do a flat on 09+ zx6's because of how the tank is in the underside again it is preference of rider or how the tank is shaped originally had nothing to do with ff or sf

I agree completely.

The tanks are a ton of work, ESPECIALLY since he does each one to the customer's spec, so it's basically scratch building each with no templates or anything. I wouldn't do one for less than $300.

I had a really deep dent on my 06 half tank before trying the flat top. The dent actually put me lower that the flat top, and it feels pretty funny now, so I'm going to do another one that has an angle or dip in it. Like I said in my other post, if you're a tall dude that isn't super flexible, I would look at a tank that has a dip in it, and maybe a little narrower on the sides. I'm 6'2" and only moderately flexible so that's what I'm doing next.

One other thing is I've been working up to foot in bar staggered no handers. I see guys doing them and they have their body right up against the tank. With my current tank and it's high lip, I can't get that close so a lower lip will also help with that.

But that's what I get for being a squid and jumping head first into projects I don't know crap about!
