I am not even sure what the tank in my pic came off of, or how many gallons it holds, but it wasn't very hard to mod it to fit my 66 XLCH ( I bought it at a swap meet). I lifted the front end about 2" and drilled and tapped a hole staight down through the frame for the back bolt. The Petcock is on the the left hand side and runs close to the rear rocker box. If you like this fit, then maybe someone on here could tell you where to get one.

Hell yeah sweet bobber! Curious about that hardtail you added as well. That a bolt or weld on? Really dig the wheels to! From what I understand they're also rare as rocking horse s#*t...
Edit: Oh, just noticed the chrome frame and magneto... NICE

I often feel like, with my stock seat (which for me is dead comfortable, and I don't plan on changing it any time soon) the peanut tank comes up a little short on the frame. Would love to upgrade to something with more capacity, but also love the classic shape on the peanut.
If there was something like the king that was maybe an inch longer as well, that would really do the trick. An extra gallon goes a long way either way - difference between a 100'ish mile ride, and a 150'ish is pretty big. May just have to break down and get that king tank soon.
Any good links to one of these?
