I don't. I wanted a larger tank back in the 70s when I was riding cross country on my K6.
Is that tank one you have? How many gallons does it hold?(if you have it be sure to line it with Caswell liner, as the ethanol will eat the fiberglass)
I only remember the Tracy body kit that had the Triumph Hurricane shape, with the smaller tank, seat, sidecovers and tail all in one piece.

Not mine but its on ebay for 100 plus shipping, they next one listed is 400 plus shipping. I asked the owner what the capacity was they never got back to me...im guessing its a 8-9 gallon tank from the looks of it. It would prolly be like 80 bucks to line that tank. I really wanna get it and but im worried about dropping the bike and cracking that....wish someone would make a metal one like bmw still does. Also...lets say i fall over and that thing is full, its still only secured at he back with the rubber under the seat and the two shoulders....yikes.

Price wise, I wanna get it and try it.

Unless that tank is larger than it looks it is pretty short and may not be even 5 gallons...look at the gas cap for scale...
