If he was a Harley rider, I'd go with the Sportster tank. If he was a Harley rider, I'd think it would make a difference to him.

In the movie Roadside Prophets, the guy with the long blonde hair on the blue and white Harley was put into one of the gas tank halves when he died.


That might be smaller that a sportster tank, and it was fiction, of course.

I'm surprised there aren't any HD caskets. They sell everything else. But the urn's are cool.

When I was at the Anacortes Oyster Run, there was a vender there selling them. They also had cylinders with a lid on them. I'm not sure of the vendor's name though.

You might also try doing some google or eBay searches on chopper tanks. Some are 1 to 2 gallons. You could probably also order a tank logo from Moto to put on it to match whatever his favorite ride was.... Good luck with the task.... Sorry about your loss...

Thanks... I was a combat field medic.. Just after Nam... Either a very small real motorcycle tank, or a nicely made casket tank urn.. There was a guy I remember seeing on eBay who had some stunning hand made ones.. Don't see him now....
