I'm really wanting to put a Old School Oil Tank on the bike, but not seeing any threads about this. Can it be dont? Or is there a reason no one is hardly doin this? I have a pretty good idea of the setup with the Battery/Computer and such, just need some actual pictures.
Any Help? Thanks

Yeah i kinda drawed up an idea and think it'll work but just alot of wire clean up. me myself tho just dont know how the oil tank works and which ones to buy. Some have 2 or 3 or 4 Bungs I believe they are called. Just seems like there are different applications, Im afraid of buyin one that wont work. they sale ones that have a slot for the battery and can weld up another slot for the computer so......I just need more advice on how these things work and some tips. Seems easy tho, just bolt up, install lines, clean up wires/lines, pour oil and ready to go

That aside, you'd be very challenged to fit a round oil tank in the frame and not look goofy.

besides what the guy above me posted, the pushrods as well...comon man sporty are way unique in alota ways.
to the OP
its possible, you would need to create a bracket to hold the oil bag in place, normaly people don't do it because of what others have said, a round oil bag in a triangular frame hole just looks outta place and thats why most do it when they hardtail, you get rid of the triangle. plus the issue of where to put the battery and whatever other electrics you have under there.
as far as makin a bracket, your probley talin about welding tabs onto your frame. as far as the bungs, if you remove your oil bag cover on your nighty you can look at the bottom and see how many holes you would need, also look in your owners manual if you do do it to see how much oil your current bag holds so you don't get too small or to big of a bag
if you do it post a build thread, would be cool to see
