Is there a bigger than standard/stock gas tank. I need it for the fuel guzzling bullet that I am building.

Thanks.

I know that Hitchcock's offers one or two high-capacity petrol tanks that fit the Bullet. I think there's another company that offers more variety, but I heard that their quality is sketchy (..and I can't remember who they are, so I guess that isn't very helpful).

This is bigger than my stock 2003 tank. I had one but decided not to use it as it looked kinda big for my tastes.

The seller was top notch, shipped it via DHL and it arrived clean and dent free. When i opened the box it still smelled like paint. The paint job was so so, wouldn't hurt to repaint it. Watch the seller if you're interested... sometimes he has the "best offer" option and he'll haggle.

I bought a seat and pillion from them... Very slow response to messages but it did show up in good order after I paid them.   I imagine no returns...

You could carry one of those tiny gas cans our host sells or fill a whiskey flask(wait don't) that would be like filling a hydration backpack with gas. not

Sold it on ebay of course.... lol

I talked with royalmotorcycle.com too about their racer style b tank but they dropped out of communication with me after awhile so i never looked deeper into their operation.... nice stuff though!
