DETAILED DESCRIPTION Generally, the invention relates to an illuminated gasoline tank for a motorcycle.
A gasoline tank is constructed with a double-walled, hollow space allowing light to be visible externally through a variety of openings (designs).
The design can incorporate solid or flashing lights, or could be used as substitute turn signals.
In the first embodiment, at least one, and preferably both, outside portions of an existing gasoline tank are removed thus creating concave side panel portions and an opening in the sides of the gasoline tank.
The side panels are removed by conventional means such as laser cutting, sawing, etc.
A flat side piece, with illumination means attached thereto, is welded to the gasoline tank at the side opening to seal the gasoline tank.
An opening or design is created in the concave side panel and the side panel is welded back onto its original position on the side of the gasoline tank.
A wire or cord which is connected to the illumination means, is attached to the motorcycle battery, turn signal, etc.
to generate light through the opening on the side panel when desired.
In a second embodiment, the gasoline tanks are manufactured with the flat side piece and illumination means, and also are provided with connecting means for attachment of one of a plurality of side panels.
In this embodiment various design side panels can be interchanged by the motorcyclists to suit his or her individual style.
Thus, a multitude of transparent inserts (mounted internally) can be utilized to change the outward appearance of the illuminated gasoline tank.
In a third embodiment, a lighting means is provided underneath the gas tank to help illuminate the area in front and to the sides of the motorcycle.
The lighting member is attached to the bottom surface of each side of the motorcycle tank by conventional means, such as velcro, tape, gluing, adhesives, etc.
The lighting means is provided with a reflective surface area which reflects light received a light bulb in the direction in front of the motorcycle and to the side of the motorcycle corresponding to the side of the gasoline tank to which the motorcycle is attached
