Crafted in Taiwan, this oil tank features a classic horseshoe or wrap-around shape, providing a vintage aesthetic while ensuring reliable performance. The tank includes a screw-in filler cap with a built-in dipstick for easy oil level checks and refills, making maintenance straightforward. Its design allows for fitting electric start motor kits, enhancing your motorcycle's upgrade options. Please note that mounting brackets are sold separately, and installation requires fabrication of custom brackets for a secure fit, as mounts are not included. The tank mounts to the frame tube at the rear, with the flexibility to raise or position the tank as desired, accommodating various customization preferences. The removable bracket design allows compatibility with both early 1958-1964 FX models and later 1965-1984 FL models, offering versatility across a broad range of Harley Davidson motorcycles. The tank does not have provisions for clutch cable adjusters found in 1968-1984 models, so please verify compatibility with your specific build. Technical notes recommend using specific mounting brackets such as #31-1870 and #31-1885 for different model years, and spacers may be needed to adjust height for proper fitment. The battery tray height measures approximately 4-3\/8 inches, ensuring adequate space and compatibility with existing components.
