I have a couple of friends that went to 6 gallon tanks on their softails I'll see if I can get some pictures..
Personally on a Heritage I think they look real good not so much on a Fatboy though..
However on a built Evo with 4.2 gallon tanks I can only go 130 miles to the tank.. And that's stretching it..

A couple of practical tips and considerations that apply to me and my experience....maybe not you or yours.
I find that about 125 miles on the EVO softail is enough for me. I also like the way the small tanks look.
But if I liked the 6 gal. look there are a couple of things that I would do.
The article above mentioned Kreem tank sealer. I haven't had good experience with that product.
Find an old time radiator repair shop and that's easier said than done today..
Have the raw tanks dipped in what is called a "hot tank" to clean them of all scale and oil.
Then follow up with a RedKote sealer.
This is an industrial procedure and it will safely seal the seams.
Yes, you can buy RedKote and apply it yourself but it isn't as effective.
