Reproductions of classic gasoline and oil tank combinations for early Harley-Davidson models – manufactured with the same attention to detail as over 100 years ago. These replica tanks are not mass-produced, but are still made using traditional craftsmanship. Most components are joined together using soft soldering, just like in the old days. This proven technique was used on the original tanks and has stood the test of time for this tank combination – even if it is not comparable to the modern welding processes used on current motorcycle tanks.
Each vintage tank comes complete with all standard brass fittings, brackets, and mounting points – just like the original. Ideal for the authentic restoration of Harley-Davidson vintage bikes or classic-style custom projects.
If you are looking for a faithful Harley-Davidson replica tank that remains true to the original in both appearance and function, you have come to the right place.
The tanks of Harley-Davidson F and J models evolved continuously over the years, reflecting the changes made to the frames and chassis of the respective model generations. Particularly distinctive are the versions used on J models from 1925 onward: with the introduction of the new frame, the fuel and fuel/oil tank combinations received their characteristic teardrop shape—rounded at the front and tapering to a point at the rear. This appearance is a defining feature of the 1925–1929 J models.
Since quality control on the part of the manufacturer did not meet our standards, we decided to outsource this process to a professional tank repair company right here in Germany.
There all our IOE and V-model gas/oil tank combinations undergo a diligent pressure test, during which even tiny leaks are detected. In an ensuing repair process all present seam flaws are corrected.
Only after this procedure the gas tanks will be sent out to customers.
Of course, these corrections/repairs are visible, but we see this process as the only possibility to sell these gas tanks with confidence.
To avoid problems after finally bringing the gas tanks into service, the following point must be observed before painting and final installation:
- Conduct a probationary installation of both tank halves and make sure that they rest stress-free on the frame. See the W&W selection of spacers and shims. Test fit petcocks and fuel/oil lines, too..
