Default Flame stamped fuel tank


2005 Harley Davidson Night Train. The flames are stamped into the tank. I've never seen one like it. i was hoping someone on here would have more information.

I'm with him ^. It's probably body filler.

It's not filler. its factory. it's actually stamped into the tank. That's why I'm so curious about it.

Here's another one. Can't find any evidence that it's a factory offering though. Probably aftermarket.

3 dimentional painting to create the illusion of depth, the tank is smooth to the touch.

Then it's not an OE tank, plain and simple. If HD created a die to stamp that tank, there would be thousands of them, and info would be readily available.

You donīt know **** barneyboy.

This IS a Harley Davidson kit which came with fenders also stamped with flames.
They made numbered kits in a serie of 200. I myself, own 49/200.
