WR Daytona Oil Tanks for 45”/750 cc Flatheads
WR Daytona Oil Tanks for 45”/750 cc Flatheads
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.

Stock replacement oil tanks

Apart from the lines, brackets and all that, the pure oil tanks differ considerably from model to model at Harley-Davidson. 1000, 1200 and 1300 rigid frame bikes rely on the legendary horseshoe-shaped oil tank, as do the 1200 models in the first swingarm frames. In 1965 the Big Twins with electric starter had a space problem: where to put the thick battery and the starter? After some brain-satorming, the factory came out with the cube-shaped oil tank was the measure of all things for the big Twins for almost 20 years.

The Sportster models, including their predecessor, the K model, have their own oil tank history. First of all, there is the standard version until 1978, which is available in different versions. Seen from the side, the tanks resemble a voluminous women's handbag and all have the large filler opening, in which the oil filter sits. For the XLCH models, there was a horseshoe-shaped version (until 1965) and a square tank shape that was welded from two deep-drawn shells. Apart from a brief interlude from 1979-1981, all later Sportsters from 1982 had the typical triangular oil tanks. But behold: from 2004, the sheet metal is only a cover and the actual tank is made of plastic. Repair options are doubtful. The steel tanks can be soldered in the event of a vibration crack.
