Custom Bike-Gas Tank 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago
|
|
|
I'm customizing my 05' Roadstar. I was thinking about changing the tank (since it's huge and fat) but a buddy mentioned that I'll be giving up storage which means, I'll have to make more stops to the gas station.
The problem that I have with the current tank is, I hate the huge round speedo and Road star Insignia on the tank. Is it possible to remove everything off the tank so I'm only left with the gas cap. Then, I was going to install a tach on the bars.
What's your opinions?

I'm actually doing the very same thing right now. I have removed the speedo and dash and had the hole welded. I also relocated the gas cap to be a flush mount in the top center of the tank. I'm also adding a barons stretch on it because it makes it look a little slimmer.
I need to figure out the breather tube. I hate where it is located on the top of the tank. I have already had my cap welded in so i don't know what to do about the breather tube.
I'll post some photos if you like.

You don't need the breather tube .... buy a vented cap. Just be careful and don't fill the tank too high or the gas overflow once an a while and lift your paint.

You can also vent the cap in 15 minutes with the tech tip section.

Sorry it took so long... I have been traveling. Here is the first of a few pics of my Frank-N-Tank! I was fortunate to have a friend of a friend to do the welding for me. He welded the dash hole and the gas cap hole which he then welded in a flush mount pop-up gas cap. I have installed a Baron's 3" tank extension... much easier than I thought it would be.
The photo I have attached is to this point. I still have toget some sheet metal and "close in" the front top section of the tank as it looks strange since there is no dash.
