Looks like a custom 1 off piece to me, kind cool though.

It's a gas tank cover. They were once pretty common. I have several nos covers that have different designs on them. They were made for most trikes with metal tanks. Not only do they help preserve a metal tank, they also can make a worn tank look better for little cost and they also kept you from burning your body parts on your metal tanks out in the hot sun.

Honda line made them, we bought ours back in the day, at our local Honda shop. But you should be able to have a upolstery shop make one from pics, and the tank sample to work from.
good luck.

The Moshes ought to be able to hook a person up with something similar. I thought someone was still making them, but I haven't seen anything about them being sold for a while now. I can't remember if it was ceet making and selling them or not.

I have one for a 82 atc110 that was made by Answer . Very nice cover and 40.00 shipped is a good deal for someone .
