Sporster Gas Tank?

Anyone ever tried fitting a Sportster tank to a Savage? I don't much like the shape of the stock suzuki tank.

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

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

I myself believe the S40 tank looks better than the sportster tank

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).

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.

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.

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.

I like the VN750 tank ok, its generic enough. The Sportster tank just makes it look like a wannabe, and I don't wannabe...
