That's why they make a king peanut.I love 'em.More and more you see them being used for custom applications.Years ago ,it seems, nobody wanted anything to do with them.Now they are more popular then ever

love the look of the peanut tank and i dont even mind the capacity because after 110 or 120 miles i am ready for a break .I went to two different dealers in march several times looking for a 1200r , finally had to get them to pick me one up from San Antonio.

I don't like peanut tank, both look and size.[:'(]
If I happen to build a shovelhead chopper to ride around the city, yes I will put a peanut tank on.

I suppose if we all didn't have different preferences and opinions, we would be talking about THE new 2008 model Harley. Or, if the outcome had been different, we would all be driving the "Peoples Car". 
Edited: I do like the look of the peanut tank, but there is something to be said about being able to stop for a smoke break on top of a moutain parkway overlook instead of having to ride down into the valley to get gas.

I like it too, the tank on the custom and low models looks like the vent was plugged on a hot day and it got all puffed up!
And yes 100 mile range is OK for me between smoke breaks.

to me the peanut tank just makes the bike look all the more narrow and thats all you need on a bike is to be harder to see
but every one has their own taste and im not knocking any one for likeing it this is just the reason i don't care for them
