4.5 gal Replacement Tank
 
Has anyone replaced their EFI 3.3 gallon tanks with this 4.5 from JP CYCLES

http://www.jpcycles.com/product/721-159

I would like to get feedback and more importantly see some pics of all painted and on the bike ?

Looking to replace the tank this off season and would like to see it on a bike '

Thanks !!!!!

Eek, that thing has bad reviews.

id say 4/5 is not bad reviews :/, especially considering that most people that have no issues at all do not go back and post a review. For the most part, its people with issues that post reviews.

+1 - It's a raw metal tank. You have to expect that it will need to be cleaned and sealed.

Why not see if you can find someone with a custom looking to swap to a peanut?

I assume you'll likely need to change your seat too.

I would probably be willing to trade my 4.5 gal tank for a 3.3. I'm up in Boston though.

*BUMP*
Still looking for any pics of larger tanks swapped out for the 3.3
or if anyone actually purchased this tanke from jp cycles

I've been thinking about making the same mod too, but I'm concerned about getting a matching paint job. Maybe (for me) the better strategy would be to get the fenders to match the new tank instead of vice versa.
