A lot of design and looks go a long way back on Harleys. You need to go to the library if you have not already did this and do a search on Harley in the Computer Card Catalog. My library has about 5 great books and a couple of VHS on the history of Harley, Indian, Excelsor spelling?--. To answer your question years ago one side was an oil tank for the engine and the other was gas. They now only use the left side for a fuel gage but still make it look like a gas cap. My 04 sofail still has the label on it to remind you not to try to screw it off.

 

Two *********, two ****, two butt cheeks, two eyes, two ears, two hands. Seems things are better in twos. And yes, fill up both tanks.

 

My Evo is like this. It would take forever to fill both, with the 3/8 tubing between the two.

 

This way they can sell you two gas caps instead of just one.

 

So you can pull up to either side at the gas pumps

 

Yea, but you can do that with any kind of tank though.

 

Now what the hell do you do with two gas caps at the gas station...... geeeez!!!!

 

i love this forum......!!!

 

One side is for riding, the other is for reserve, This depends on whether or not you've ridden where the next gas stop is 150 miles ahead.
