Hello, I am new on this forum and I have a question about a fuel-tank that I have seen in a picture (see attached). Is there anyone who knows what kind of tank the bike on the picture carries. Is it a Buell original or what? I would like to have one like that instead of mine S1 Lightning 1998 original. Is there any other fuel-tanks that can be used on my Buell -98 Thank you,
|

Looks like the breather from a standard filler. |

Is it just a standard tank with a rounded tank pad attached at the rear? ...... the front looks very standard. |

A picture is worth a thousand words.  A blind man on a galloping horse can see the tank in the first picture is miles shorter.  get too specsavers.Andy |

I'm with Spondon on this. If I had to guess I'd say it may be an X1 tank with a moulded fibreglass cover. |

What battery is that running and did they really reinstate the pillion footrests? |

there is a pretty large gap behind the headstock to the tank, not sure if that is because the headstock angle has been altered (don't thinkso) and I think its higher than stock too, sure its been made.Think I really like it, bit too modern as I seem to be feeling more old school by the day but it is a job well done. Bet its German. 4/10,  , surely worth more than that.  Andy |
