Title: Sporster Gas Tank? Post by buffyporson on 02/02/10 at 10:46:27 Anyone ever tried fitting a Sportster tank to a Savage? I don't much like the shape of the stock suzuki tank. |

Title: Re: Sporster Gas Tank? Post by Rocco on 02/02/10 at 12:27:27 i'd imagine it would need new mounts u'd have to figure out something with the speedo..... i assume u mean the peanut tanks, they look cool but they are harley. i have a sportster muffler on mine, but to insult the harley dudes, i let the chrome fade ;D :o :o :D ;D |

We've mounted Sportster, Softail, Road King, and other tanks on these bikes. All it takes is some ingenuity. |

I agree, but wish they would have mounted the speedometer on the bars. Not only would it be more visible while riding if mounted on the bars, but it would provide that much more room for fuel (a much needed commodity with the size of these tanks). |

Title: Re: Sporster Gas Tank? Post by Truckinduc on 02/02/10 at 16:00:10 im modifying a sportster tank to fit a honda rebel right now. The sportster tank has a very narrow tunnel. Unless you want the tank to sit on top the frame a new tunnel has to be made for it to fit, along with mounts. |

Title: Re: Sporster Gas Tank? Post by wolfmrp on 02/02/10 at 19:32:18 I think Jimmer also did the vn 750 tank, with an acewell speedo. I have a vn 750 tank all painted and waiting. I just need a break from classes long enough to fabricate a bracket to mount it. If you do the sporty tank I would love to see picks of how you do the mount. |

Title: Re: Sporster Gas Tank? Post by T Mack 1 - FSO on 02/03/10 at 09:06:09 They make a 4.5 gal aftermarket tank for the Sportster. Think about that.... at 50 mpg of the LS650, that's 3 or 4 hours of riding..... talk about terminal monkey butt..... Google Porkster. |

Title: Re: Sporster Gas Tank? Post by babyhog on 02/03/10 at 12:28:21 I like the VN750 tank ok, its generic enough. The Sportster tank just makes it look like a wannabe, and I don't wannabe... |
