SKU:40-0488
Replica chrome Tourist Trophy Bobber oil tank is 1-5/16 inch shorter to raise the transmission and clutch pack, delivering greater ground clearance for TT racing or hillclimbing on Harley-Davidson EL models from 1936 to 1945.
Design features include a shorter battery compartment to accommodate a smaller battery, and a configuration that positions the chain guard in a raised position, which may require modifications to the front mount tab. On most early racing era bikes, chain guards were not used, making this adjustment authentic for restoration or custom builds.
The oil tank body measures approximately 4-3/4 inches in width at the battery compartment and is compatible with sealed batteries such as the 6 Volt 12 Amp or 12 Volt 5 Ah models. Note that this tank does not support electric start installations, and the dipstick must be a stock, shortened version for proper fit.
Made in Taiwan with authentic vintage chrome styling, this tank is designed for vintage Harley Davidson restorations or custom builds seeking period-correct appearance and improved drivetrain alignment. Accessories like the replica black Tourist Trophy oil tank, parkerized oil tank to fender mount, and a cadmium-plated dipstick are available to complement installation. Detailed installation instructions are provided in the online manual.
Replica chrome Tourist Trophy Bobber oil tank is 1-5/16 inch shorter in order to accommodate a raised position for chain alignment.Enhance your Harley Davidson EL vintage motorcycle with the Wyatt Gatling Replica Chrome Tourist Trophy Bobber Short Oil Tank, designed specifically for models from 1936 to 1945. This oil tank is engineered to raise the transmission and clutch pack, providing greater ground clearance ideal for TT racing or hillclimbing. The tank’s design allows for a 1-5/16 inch spacer to elevate the transmission mount plate while maintaining stock mounting procedures, ensuring a secure fit. The shorter battery compartment accommodates a smaller battery, which is essential due to the reduced space, and the tank’s configuration positions the chain guard in a raised position, requiring some modifications to the front mount tab. Most early racing era bikes did not utilize a chain guard, making this adjustment appropriate for authentic restoration or custom builds. The mounting process involves using (2) 3 inch x 3/8 inch SAE bolts and (2) 2-1/2 inch x 3/8 inch SAE bolts to attach the transmission plate, while the oil tank’s front frame mount must be repositioned 1.25 inches higher by rewelding. This elevation aligns the transmission and rear sprockets more inline, improving power transfer efficiency through the drivetrain. The oil tank itself measures approximately 4-3/4 inches in width for the battery compartment, which is compatible with recommended sealed batteries, such as the 6 Volt 12 Amp or 12 Volt 5 Ah models. Note that this tank does not support electric start installations, and the dipstick must be a stock, shortened version for proper fit. The product is made in Taiwan with high-quality craftsmanship, ensuring durability and authentic style. Accessories like the replica black Tourist Trophy oil tank, parkerized oil tank to fender mount, and a cadmium-plated dipstick are available to complement your installation. For detailed installation instructions, refer to the provided manual linked online. This oil tank is a perfect choice for vintage Harley Davidson restorations or custom projects seeking period-correct styling and performance improvements.
