Tank replacement

Recommended Posts

I have the Honda Shadow, with a tank capacity of 3.7 gallons. With some gas stations in TX over 200 miles apart, this kind of concerns me for some trips I'd like to try.

Anyone know where I can look at an aftermarket/compatible tank for my bike?

I'd like to look at 5 gals, but don't know if that is practical/do-able.

don't know why I typed vtx...probably from all the tank searches...

Don't the big VTX's ( 1800 ) have almost 5gallon tanks? Wonder if it's possible to swap out? would be over a gallon more than your 1300, I can't tell if they share frames but I doubt they do - still may be similar tank mounts though.

my brain is fried this morning, been searching for larger tanks, and typed VTX for my bike....:slap:

I was wondering about that :lol:

Gf's dad has a VTX1300

A friend has a Aero

Never heard of a VTX Aero :lol:

Have you looked into auxiliary tanks? Not sure of modern options/compatibility, though. A local shop for old Beemer parts had some metal aux. tanks last time I was there. A cursory glance at the interweb popped up some mx types, but they were plastic...
