Default Thunderbike Rockers

I am searching for clean gas tank for Rocker. Only solution i was able to find is from Thunderbike. I am just not sure about the shape of the gas tank. Let me know what do you think. Complete gas tank with new fuel pump (its neccessary) cost 1300 eur - so not cheap solution actually and i am not sure if its worth of the money.

IMO it still doesn't look right. I think maybe if they lifted the front of the tank a few inches it would flow better.

It does look nice and clean. I do like that part of it. It's just the lines to me still aren't right.

Plus another reason could be because they only offer a 14ltr (about 3.6 gal) and 15ltr (about 3.9 gal) tanks. Part of the look of my Rocker is that fact of the large tank. Having that smaller tank on it just would not look right IMO.

Not really digging the tank but you have admit the Rocker is one great bike. It is a outstanding place to start to make the bike of your dreams.

Hello there. Try a std tank as they bolt straight up. You cwill also have to extend your seat to suit. Or as I have I fitted an OEM stretched tank. Have to either purchase '06 sender and pump or replace from an '08 onwards mounting system cut from an original damaged tank. I chose the latter. I have the Heartland kit on mine so i just cut vetically do0wn on the seat and flattened out the front 1/4 of the seat and re upholstered. Will look great when finished. is a good replace ment in my eyes. I have photos but not sure on how to post them as I am not too experienced on this site.
