Has anyone heard of any after-market sources to get a 6-gallon gas tank for my 07 Ultra Classic?

 

NOT AWARE THAT ANYONE MAKES THEM

 

IMO a whole lotta' work for one gallon. The 08 tank will not be compatible. There must be something else you need...like an IDS?

 

Just keep in mind everyone else you will be riding will most likleyhave a 5 gal tank and u have to stop anyway.

 

Haven't seen one at this time, 08 not compatible and like others have stated, I don't think it would be worth the $$$.

 

My A$$ can't take that many miles all at once and I don't consider me an old fart. I like stopping after about 150-175 to fill up, and a quick stretch. With 6 gal I'm assuming about 240-250 mileson a tank full at 70mph

 

I like the idea of a 6 gallon tank. My dad once said "anything is possible with enough planning and $$$"
They are really helpfull on a Iron butt ride.

 

I agree with the post above...who wants to stay on a bike for 6 gallons worth of miles!

 

drumsab:
I would bet that there are several aftermarket companies that make a tank that would fit. I put a 6 gallon stretched tank on my '97 Heritage. However, due to the curvature of the tank and the location of the fuel valve, I could only use about 5 gallons. It cost a lot of money for that project - tank, paint, fuel valve, fuel lines, etc. and I only gained about 1/2 gallon of extra useable fuel.

However, the looks of the stetched tank were worth the $$$.

I realize that the tank for the Ultra is different than for a Softtail, but if you are determined to do this, it is only a question of how much money you are willing to spend.

 

It would definitely be a custom job. Too many things got moved around for the '08's. Lots of work and money, but it would be your chance to do something interesting. See where it fits on your list of changes. This will not provide much return for the money invested, but you could do something cool.
