Oil Tanks Custom

On long distance races like the Daytona 200 the small WR gast tanks meant several gas stops and consequently time loss. Thus the HD-Race department decided to use both tank halves for gas and even enlarge them to 5 gallons. The oil went under the seat in a special cast aluminum oil tank. WRs didn’t have a battery so this space wasn’t used anyway. This is a faithful reproduction of the original WR race bike part and will fit all 45”/750 cc Flathead solo bikes with magneto ignition. Installation requires hardware to be made or obtained.

A favourite since decades among Chopper builders these oil tanks never fail to look good. But since we couldn’t find Barrel style tanks with filter adapter on the market which are dependably oil tight and cleanly fabricated inside, we have these made in Germany to strict specifications. Precisely made from sturdy steel, with meticulous TIG-welds and machined surface for the oil filter. Their side fill spout makes oil pour a snap without having to move the seat. Features two 5/16”-18 thread bushings on top and one on the bottom to permit easy installation. The oil filter is not included and must be ordered separately.

Spun aluminum oil tank with 1 gal. capacity which sports a beautiful barrel design that nicely matches Choppers and Bobbers! It mounts three tab stays which must be welded to the frame. Outlet, return, vent and drain on the kickstand side are located on the bottom.

Spun aluminum oil tank which mounts with two rubber insulated brackets on most motorcycles. Frame tabs have to be fabricated and welded to suitable spots. It holds 3 or 4 quarts of oil and features top return and vent fitting and bottom feed.

Welded steel oil tank in classic barrel style. It has three 5/16"-18 mounting points, two at the top and one at the bottom. This way you can be sure that the oil tank stays in place even during bumpy journeys through the maize field. It has a capacity of 2.9 l and a central aluminium tank cap. Thanks to soldered pipes installed in the tank, oil supply, venting and return are located at the bottom of the tank, which is advantageous for a clean routing of the oil lines. All components of this tank are made in USA.
