Very Nice! Yep, same tank. It’s taken a bit to make fit on the 175 frame.
Warmed up the various harnesses in the HL bucket and carefully installed the HL/bezel. The bezel was rusted, but cleaned up well with three days soaking in Evapo-Rust, and a good cleaning with tin foil & Coke.

The gauges are NOS. Had them for a while. Up until 1971; the 175’s had no trip meter. In ‘72 they had a resettable trip with the knob on the side. You can still find OEM NOS, but they are getting pricey.

I find man caves in the U.S. typically mammoth.
