These 3-1/2 gallon fuel tanks are reproductions of the original Knucklehead tanks used on Harley-Davidson models from 1936 to 1946. The tanks are designed for the Skull or Cateye tank console with shift gate and follow the shape and mounting points of the historic originals.
The 1936–1939 version features mounts for standard left and right fuel petcocks, while the 1940–1946 version is designed for push-pull fuel petcocks. This variant also includes all mounting points for original tank trim strips and tank emblems as used on later Knucklehead models.
These tanks are suitable for restorations of classic Harley-Davidson Knucklehead models, as replacement parts, or for period-correct custom builds.
All gas tanks by W&W Cycles are delivered unpainted and unsealed. Before the paint job and final installation please consider the following:
- We consistently receive tight gas tanks from the manufacturers, both Custom and OEM replacements.
- Problems mostly occur during or after installation. Hence, before a pressure test and before painting - a probationary tensionless installation is highly recommended. Any leverage on the tank mounts spells trouble. Better use our selection of small parts.
- To avoid corrosion always fill your tank to the max during longer downtimes or seal it on the inside.
