Introducing the Dished Wassell Motorcycle Gas Tank, a premium choice for motorcycle enthusiasts who appreciate quality and style. This gas tank, designed in the iconic Frisco mount style, is perfect for customizing your Harley or chopper. With a capacity of 2.2 gallons, it provides ample fuel for your riding adventures while enhancing the aesthetic of your bike.
Crafted by Eagle Skull, this tank stands out due to its excellent quality, ensuring it is not made in China. The new design features a shallow tunnel with universal fitment, making it ideal for various custom applications. The tank measures 14.5 inches long, 9 inches wide, and 7.5 inches tall, with a mounting tab distance of 17 inches from tab to tab. It also has a 1-inch deep and 2.15-inch wide tunnel, allowing for easy installation.
One of the key features of the Dished Wassell gas tank is its un-drilled mounting tabs. This gives you the flexibility to position the tank exactly where you want it on your bike frame. Additionally, the tank comes equipped with bungs designed for two 1/4′ NPT petcocks, ensuring efficient fuel flow and management.
Before you paint or finish the tank, it is crucial to ensure that the fit of the tank, along with the mounting hardware, petcocks, and gas caps, is accurate. Tanks are pressure tested to guarantee their reliability and durability. To avoid stress that can lead to cracking of welds, be sure to carefully bolt the tabs to the frame. If you encounter any fitting issues, consider using leather or rubber washers to shim between the tabs and the backbone for a proper fit.
It is important to note that when preparing the tank for painting, avoid sanding the seams or welded edges. Instead, if necessary, apply a thin layer of body filler prior to painting to achieve a smooth finish. The Dished Wassell style gas tank is a nostalgic nod to the sixties show bikes, featuring recessed dishing that perfectly aligns with the tank’s outer lines. This design is achieved during the stamping process, resulting in smooth edges that eliminate concerns about cracking at weld seams. Unlike other tanks that may require extensive prep time, this tank is a one-stamped piece, making it easier to get ready for your custom paint job.
Whether you’re building a custom bike or restoring a classic, the Dished Wassell Motorcycle Gas Tank is a fantastic choice that combines style and functionality. Its unique design and quality craftsmanship will surely impress both riders and onlookers alike. Make your motorcycle stand out with this exceptional gas tank.
