You can look through old threads....or do a search.....but there is nothing you can get that just bolts on. Anything different will require you to modify the tank, or make mounts, or relocate the fuel petcock.

You can get an extra quart by welding up the speedometer hole and turning it into fuel space, a few of us have used Suzuki GT380/550 tanks, one member used some Harley tanks, and another fellow cut his tank and welded larger sides on the tank.

Some folks need a bigger tank, some just want one,, Id suggest ya run a few thousand miles before you decide, unless you can SEE that youree runnin thru more gas than you can really deal with all the "Time to stop for gas" times. You runnin it down the road a lot?
How is it set up? Stock exhaust and jets? Have ya checked the MPG? Is it giving you a lot of poppin and banging? How many miles on it?
Theres a real recent thread on this.. Theres a tank that looks really "At Home" on it,, I think it requires a seat mod to get in up there, not sure,,
But,, the seat is an often maligned plank of foam rubber, so, a mod there is not a bad thing. YOU planning on riding 2 up or will you be solo?
Paladin had a seat that looked very comfortable. Kinda big, but, the headlight gave it visual perspective that made it look right on the bike.

headlight off a steam locomotive makes a seat off a tractor look sized reasonably,,

do a lot of miles riding with my club. did 160miles today up & down hills of new hampshire in the cold and some rain, plus the bike is triked so it weighs more. stopped for gas three times.
