Toaster tank

[Mal S7]

I'm not sure of the look of the chrome panels on a /7 tank?

Hi Steve,
I have a 15 litre tank that airbear gave me a few years back,
I had the dent taken out (some fracas with a sheep I believe) and the tank undercoated,
its been sitting in my shed ever since, waiting for ...... an idea ..

Yep, just don't forget the "Boxer" theme!

Back in the day we hated the chrome junk. We removed them ASAP and glued on rubber pads. Hard to believe that anybody would ever want that cheap stuff on a BMW.

I like the way my Toaster tank looks and since I'm not a "big distance guy" it doesn't bug me to have to buy gas more often.

What bugs me is when riders call their bikes a Toaster, as if it was some special model, and all it has is some chrome trim.

I had a 72 R75/5 with the chrome tank covers. I would have rather had the larger tank. Great bike though.

G'day Mal. If'n you don't win the toaster panels you could make your own.
Here are some designs from the grand history of Toaster Art that you may wish to celebrate ...

Calling the bike a "toaster" is sort of new. When I left the BMW arena back in 1981, nobody called it a toaster. When I returned in the late 90s with the advent and popularity of the Internet, I discoverd this new moniker. At first I didn't even know what it was. I was even more surprised to find that some even liked the long despised cheap flimsy tacky useless POS.

I should stop sugar coating how I feel about it and go with the flow.
