5 Gallon Fuel Tank on SEs
« on: July 28, 2006, 01:46:39 AM »
5 gallon Fuel Tank

Will the 2007  5 gallon fuel tank fit on both 2005 and 2006 CVO V-Rod SEs?
If so, what's the Harley Part # ?
Is it easy to install?

The new 5 gallon tank increases riding range 35%
(3.7 --> 5.0 gallons, 100 --> 135 miles)

I was at the dealer a few days ago and asked the same question. The frame on the 07's is different to support the 5 gallon tank. So as of right now (from what I was told) NO it will not work.

For those interested in larger gas tank for V-Rod I read in July '06 issue of Thunder Press about an aftermarket company that has a 5.1 gallon tank available.

Only minor modifications on the protection plate located underneath the tank are required for installation and the unit comes with pictorial instructions to accomplish this. There are two models available (one for bikes with tires up to 280mm and one for 300 series) and although they are priced the same, neither one is exactly inexpensive. Retailing at the odd figure of $1,076.51, it will cost you an additional $135 to have it shipped across the big water from Europe.

Let me tell you guys - rented a V-Rod from Eagle Riders while in San Diego and we took off over the mountains and into the dessert.

Was sweating bullets as fuel was VERY low and there are not many gas stations out there on the back roads in the desert...  [smiley=nervous.gif]

1,000.00 is alot - but get a 10-15 % discount then consider the small volume they are most likely selling plus the enginerring, etc. - its' not that bad of a deal... :)

I'm hoping that maybe somebody over here (in US) will come up with something in the next year or so, especially since the 07's have the larger tank now.

The frame is spread at the point where the tank in installed to accommodate the larger swing arm and rear tire of the 07's.

I know what you're thinking TC!! ;D ;D

I wouldn't mind the 5 gal fuel tank, however I found I was always about ready for a break when I needed gas.
