Small teardrop style chopper gas tanks which are made from steel. Fore and aft tabs allow for custom installation on most frames. They feature a 3/8” NPT petcock thread on the right side and a 1/4” NPT thread on the left.
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.

Prism Fuel Valves
These small petcocks fit direct to either a 1/4" or 3/8" NPT bung on your gas tank. This keeps your gas tank looking very clean. They feature a 5/16" diameter hose barb on one end and a fuel filter on the other. The manufacturer recommends 1/4" ID fuel line for a snug, leak proof fit. Rotating the cylindrical piece with the two grooves is how the fuel is toggled on and off. No reserve. Length measured without hose barb and filter.
OEM Style 1955-1972 Gas Caps
The design of these gas caps matches the original caps from the years of manufacture 1955-1972. From 1965, the left side was equipped with a non-vented gas cap to prevent overflow. This also fits older models and all aftermarket tanks.
