Factory, 4.5 gallons. Do a google search for "motorcycle gas tanks". There used to be a fatbob tank out there that would fit without too many problems. It was 5 gallon.

Look into that a little closer. I do not think the new 4.5 gallon tanks will fit onto a 1990 frame without some chopping and welding to move the brackets. There are however several versions of the fatbob tank that will fit your bike. Just be sure to have the tank sealed before putting it on your bike and using it. Look up Bikertrash on this forum and take a peek at his bike.

 \\;\\\\\\; No, I was talking about aftermarket tanks. Not factory ones.

Xl1200c
I'm not sure if it can look ridiculous. Sounds like a XL1200C which has a 4.5 gallon tank as standard. If you change to a peanut, make sure its from a 3.3 gallon bike. Mine was the 2.2 gallon version, hence with stage ll and ridden hard was only good for 60 miles max
