SKU:40-0493
Replica black Tourist Trophy bobber oil tank, 1-5/16 inch shorter to accommodate a raised position for chain alignment. Designed specifically for Harley‑Davidson EL models from 1936 to 1945, it raises the transmission and clutch pack to increase ground clearance for TT racing or hillclimbing. By repositioning the transmission and rear sprockets more inline, it aims to improve drivetrain alignment and power transmission.
The tank features a 5-inch high battery compartment suitable for small batteries, with a short profile that complements the classic bobber aesthetic.
Installation involves modifications such as rewelding the oil tank front mount and adjusting the chain guard position and mounting tabs, reflecting the realities of many early racing bikes that did not use a chain guard.
The feed line is positioned on the bottom, with interchangeable return and vent lines to provide setup flexibility. To raise the transmission mount plate, use five 1-5/16 inch spacers along with appropriate bolts to ensure a precise fit with stock mounting points.
Notes: not compatible with electric start installations and requires a stock dipstick shortened for fitment. The tank measures approximately 5 inches in the battery area height. Made in Taiwan and includes replica oil tank plates and rear fender mount clamps to aid installation and enhance the overall look. This oil tank pairs with various black spacer sets and batteries listed in the recommended accessories.
