We first introduced you to the steel stylings of Kyle Krejci and Independent Gas Tank Co. last year (HRB July 2000) when we followed along the build up of several outrageous custom coffin tanks. Since then Klye has been insisting that we abuse one of his creations on the dyno to prove their superior durability to aluminum tanks. Now that Mule 2 is up and running on a regular basis, what better time than during our sheetmetal issue to scoot out of the office and pick up a new tank for the bike. as a diversionary tactic, we threw couple weekends' worth of classified ads at Frank and told him that we swore we remembered seeing an ad for free Sprint parts somewhere-we just couldn't remember which day or paper they were in. With the boss man preoccupied with scouring through a stack of fine print, we hightailed it our of town to Gilbert , Arizona, the home of Independent Gas Tank Co. (IGTC).
With the help of the IGTC crew, we designed a new style of tank that looks bitchin' while staying true to Mule 2's style. now that Mule 2 looks double bad, I'll have to keep "borrowing" it from Frank.
