You need gas to stay on the road. Depending on it’s size and shape the gas tank decides how long your oneway trip to the gas station could be.

Gas tanks come in all shapes and sizes. If you have a old school chopper kit, even a coffin tank is available. Do you want your bike to have a slim look, decide to go for a sportster style tank. They are also available with a stretch and coul include more fuel. Bobber kits need bobber tanks.

Gas tanks are manufactured out of all kind of materials. The most common is raw steel but there are also made out of alluminium or carbon fibres. If your tank is made of raw steel, give the whole thing a sealing treatment on the inside to avoid problems that could even damage your engine.

To finish everything in style, decide to get a decent paint job.
