 +The 2 shiny ones below are 62-65 NOS tanks. Note that one has a notch in front mount bracket. A mistake? \\
 +The chrome one is also 62-65. \\ The 4-fitting tank is 58-61. It has the full rear weldment. \\
 +Note the bent supply fitting on the chrome tank. It's like this because of overtightening the drain plug. \\

 +====== Installing a Horseshoe Oil Tank on 66-69 XLCH Frames ======
 +
 +Here is a 1966 XLCH frame with a horseshoe tank installed. 65-69 XLCH frames have the boss under the right seat casting for a regulator mount. \\
 +The holes are drilled and tapped on 65 XLCH only but the boss stays thru 69 on XLCH frames. \\
 +The holes can be drilled and tapped for the 65 CH regulator bracket to mount there. \\
 +The 66 frame would be factory fitted with an angled bracket under the seat casting for a lunchbox oil tank. \\
 +With that bracket removed, the regulator can be mounted on the boss there. \\
 +
 +66-69 XLCH frames have two tabs welded on the back side of the left seat post to mount the regulator. \\
 +These brackets, according to the pics below, DO NOT have to be removed in order to mount a horseshoe oil tank to the 66-69 CH frame. \\
 +You can see those two brackets in the second pic below on the left post with a horseshoe tank installed. \\
 +You'll need the horseshoe oil tank brackets to mount to the engine as well, front (62555-53) and rear (62552-52). \\
