Aluminium fuel tanks

walkingpictures · 03-08-2023, 04:11 PM

There was mention of aluminium tanks in another thread but didn't want to hijack the thread so here's a new one!!

The question is,does anyone know a reputable source of someone who makes these tanks?I have a link to a company in Japan who make them for the princely sum of £2K.I have also found companies who will make an aluminium tank for classic bikes.

We have had threads on here discussing the problems of ethanol in modern fuels causing the earlier tanks to expand (my bike has suffered exactly this problem) so would be interested to know if anyone has actually taken the plunge and bought a replacement aluminium tank.

Thankyou for any replies
