1966 FLH Tank Paint

[gitguy]

Saw the panz4ever thread asking for help with his 1965 tank paint layout and since he got some thoughtful responses I'd thought I would try the same tactic for my 1966 FLH. I attempted this a while back on the Caimag site but got exactly zero replies. So... if anyone has a set of '66 tanks I would be grateful if you were able to throw out some dimensions for the relative position of the white field. I know the stripe is 1/4".

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Chris but I have downloaded a whole slew of pics from original paint bikes just like you posted but what I was hoping for was someone who had some actual measurements so I wasn't just eyeballing the dimensions. Otherwise, eyeballing it is.

Hey Marc,
I have an OP 66FLH in my garage, it has 5 gal tanks. What type of pics and measurements would you like?
If you would like to draw a diagram of these measurements, I will fill it out and post all.
Might take a day or two.....

Wow Ed, thanks!

I'm not quite sure the best way to do this but let me give it some thought and I'll let you know.

Here are some pics of the measurements that I think will be helpful while trying to figure out how best to do this. Hope this works. . .

Marc,
Here are some for a starting point. I will take more pics tomorrow.
My pics uploaded in a different orientation than taken. Not sure how to correct.
If you want to message me your email I can send the photos directly to you.
