This distinctive teardrop shape emerged in the 1960s by raising the Mustang tanks and quickly became popular. To this day, teardrop tanks are regarded as a classic style feature in custom and chopper building. The flowing teardrop form not only gives an aerodynamic impression but also emphasizes the lines of the upper frame tubes while proudly showcasing the cylinder heads as another highlight.
The compact, teardrop-shaped chopper tanks are made of durable steel sheet. Front and rear mounting tabs allow flexible installation on almost any frame. The right side features a 3/8" NPT fuel tap thread, and the left side a 1/4" NPT thread. Capacity: 8.3 liters.
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.
