i don't know anyone here has a really good answer to your question since we have all been wanting to get rid of that ugly speedo on the tank and no one has come up with any good alternatives. keep us informed if you figure something out

Talking New gas tank for Rocker

Don't worry guys, I am on it!! I am searching High and Low for a tank that will fit the Rocker and look good. I haven't even seen mine since I am in Iraq, but as soon as I do, the first thing that's coming off is that stupid lookin' tank. And when I do find the Holy Grail, you guys will be the first ones to know about it!!

if i can just get the gauges worked out i can smooth the tank out. i want drag bars with digital guages on the bars. most custom shops would probably smooth your tank for the price of new tank. but you wont have to worry about finding one that fits.
