Hey man no mud slinging, just a little healthy ribbing. Mainly your name came up because I could cleverly fit it into normal speak versus some of the more obscure names on here that play the same game. Even though you must admit, this situation has your M.O. all over it.

Many thing on the main find there way to the swap, hell I have even bought and sold stuff from people when asking on the main board.

No doubt, a few 1000 dollar fork covers and mouse traps come to mind right off the bat. Again, no names.

Was hoping someone could help me identify the tank Matt Jackson used on his Panshovel.

Any idea where it could come from?

Made in Japan Wassel Pnut, takes the Bayonet cap like the older Harleys, I have had a few........Roach.

Thats the tank I have. Its a nice tank but with no factory fixings.

The mighty Banana tank by Wassell. First made in England and then in Japan. They were common on custom Triumphs. Delivered as new they did not have tabs welded on but instead separate tabs came in the cardbox box with the tanks. The tanks were painted in a black paint that did not stick very well and in some areas looked brushed on.

The profile and tunnel shape look very SuperGlide tank to me, but the rear 3/4 view makes it look a bit slim. Obviously they didn't have sculpted sides either, so maybe it is a modified 'Glide one?

I'm with VonWegener on this, looks like a Wassell Banana with some sculpting on the sides, which was a not uncommon custom "trick" back in the day. I have a NOS Hap Jones peanut tank in my stash o' stuff (the one with the small offset cap) that has the same black paint. Seems to me that was just there for rust prevention and they expected you to deal with it when you did the paint prep. Most of those tanks when new still had "draw" marks from the stamping process too, and needed a little help for a good paint job.

The small gas cap on your Hap Jones tank is a Triumph Oil Tank cap. I always thought those tanks were the most stylish of all the peanuts.

Thanks guys. I defintely think it's a Wassell banana too. The reshaping of the sides made it confusing. It's perfect in porportion. I need to find something similar.

Just for reference - here's a comparison of the Daisho vs. the Wassell. They're a little different shape, which you can see better from the back.
