What type of gas tank will fit my motorcycle? - 1
Added (1). Recently got in a small crash that dented my gas tank really bad. So I need to replace it but I will like to get something smaller and maybe cheaper then buying the original one. The original on is a bit to fat for my taste.( 2010 Honda shadow phantom 750 ) I would like to get something smaller. What website or where can I go to find I different type of gas tank that fits the bike. That I'm actually going to be able to install on the bike. Without any modifications to the frame. Thank
Go to motorcycle salvage yard or dealer, look for parts cross reference for a 500 or 650 Shadow tank maybe a couple liters smaller. Check back a couple years, check a couple other models- maybe a dual sport tank will have the right length and mounting bracket holes to fit. Many things interchange because the jigs and molds size was the economic factor in the mounting points location.
The one made for your bike by the manufacturer is the only one that will fit, unless you have a dirt bike. Many dirt bikes have aftermarket options.

None whatsoever.
Any other tank will need some sort of modification, in order to make it to fit. Only the stock tank will bolt straight on - nothing else will.
- Why did my gas tank start rusting after I washed it out with muriatic acid? I have a 1978 Honda Express 49cc moped, the gas tank had rust collecting in it and I've tried everything before going to muriatic acid. When I drained the tank out I was surprised, it was super clean, and I was happy. Until I came back out four hours later to see it had started rusting again. I rinsed it with water, blew it out and sloshed it around with gas. Why does it keep rusting? Do I need to use a sealant? What should I do?
