Oil tank Kevin and I built
Kevin bent up this oil tank for his customer and I helped out welding it, I really like his design....The welds aren't too bad either

Re: Oil tank Kevin and I built
Is that a tank for the fuel/oil mixture then?

Great work.

Re: Oil tank Kevin and I built
That's an oil only tank for a v-twin pro mod I'm building for a customer. The fuel is in the frame along with the nitrogen. It might look confusing with the fittings on it. It drains and feeds from the bottom. The 3 on top are for return, case vent, and external head drain. Nothing store bought on these tanks except for the isolated mounts and temporary caps. Fittings, filler plugs, bungs, all machined in house.

You can't worry about eternal drips with these bikes.
It's the external rods that are a problem...

Re: Oil tank Kevin and I built
Very nice. I would like to have a SS expanded metal protector bent in the same shape setting may be 3/4" off the tank if there is enough clearence for one.

Nice design. No safety wire deal for the filler cap? Are nylock nuts allowed by tech to secure tank to frame or safety wire for them too?

Remember, Harley's don't drip. They mark their territory.

B_C, how much oil does it hold?

It not an oil leak , it's rust preventative. Great looking tank. Love the beefy-ness of S&S cases.

I'm not sure if I should get into what a tank would cost in this forum. If you could pm me I'll try to answer all I can.
Just about all the fuel/oil tanks and catch cans I do are one offs and custom fit to bikes that are here, but if you have a detailed print or if it's a fairly simple design then it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks. Kevin.
