Here's a sporty looking 1971 R75/5 with Heinrich tank. The bike features a Corbin solo seat, police-style front fender, toaster battery covers, Raask rearsets, and Mikuni carbs. While nothing radical, this bike is a perfect example of what you can do with a few well-selected accessories and some good taste!

Top view of the same bike & tank. This gives you a good idea of the striping details, and now they are terminated near the back of the toolbox lid.

Another BMW sport bike, this one a little more modified. This bike has a lightened flywheel, DellOrto carbs, Hoske tank, Grimeca front brake, Magura clip-ons, and custom made rear-sets.

One more photo to make a full trio of sporty bikes. Here's another /2 bike with Hoske tank (this time a fiberglass copy). The seat is English (Norton), and the front brake is from a Suzuki.

In the past I've always identified these as Hoske tanks, but I'm getting word that they were actually produced by a company called Aimesigger (not sure on the spelling). Does anyone have some literature out there regarding these tanks?

This blue tank and the black on in the previous photo came out of Switzerland. I've been told that the Star symbol painted on this tank is very popular there, and does not seem to be based on any religious association but rather something else.

This one IS a Hoske tank, though if you look closely it appears that someone has lowered the front tank mounting brackets a few inches for some reason. The locking cap is a style that I have not seen before.

More and more police tanks are finding their way over to the States. Here's a /7 style tank, still in original police colors. The original radio switchgear has been removed from the toolbox lid.

Here's a good shot of the wire tunnel that feeds into the police toolbox area.

This nice looking red Hoske was spotted for sale at the 2003 Vintage BMW club MayDay rally.
