i was wondering. does anyone know of anyone or anywhere that either expands tanks or makes custom ones that stull fit in the same place as the original but allow a much larger capacity??

i was looking at some IOM pics and ive been wondering about getting a bigger tank for a while, but i dont want a physically bigger tank(as in it doesnt feel any bigger) and there is a pic of McGuiness' hm plant blade with a endurance tank(stretches back to under seat, but no physically bigger when on bike)

oh, and just incase it makes any difference, its a nc30

A old trick on none sport bikes is to move the filler cap up higher on the tank and the petrol tap down further to the very last part of the tank, this gives more room at the top to fill and allows you to use more fuel to the very last bit, old Harley riders used to do this and in some cases it would give almost a extra 100 mile range on a full tank of fuel.

Sounds like a good idea.
