Default Another bigger tank question

I have a 2003 883r.I would like a bigger tank.Does anyone know of a company that makes them?I would like a bolt-on model.I'm not a welder or fabricator so bolt-on would be best.Any info would be great

There was a forum some time ago that some body was taking your old tank, splitting it and welding in new metal to make a 3.3 galloin tank to like a 5 gallon tank, I just dont recall who it was , maybe somebody else will recall this and shed some lite as to who it was

Look at J&P or any of the other catalouge companies.There's plenty of tanks out there that'll bolt on
