Title: 5-7 Gallon Harley Tanks wanted. Post by: TwistedPatience on June 18, 2006, 09:03:44 AM Wanted 5-7 gallon Tanks in good condition wanted for Trike.

You got that wussy suspension stuff then? I usually find after 100 miles I need a fuel stop to stretch my legs for a few minutes! Title: Re: 5-7 Gallon Harley Tanks wanted. Post by: TwistedPatience on June 18, 2006, 09:17:36 AM Have to do that every 50 miles, being a "Raspberry Ripple" and not having much of a seat, not able to ride far without having to stop for something or other.
The springs look good but the rides about the same as a hard tail. Title: Re: 5-7 Gallon Harley Tanks wanted. Post by: Manky Monkey on June 18, 2006, 09:23:41 AM I tried a sprung solo on my first couple of trikes, (XS750s -see the Motors, 3 wheels section), but found when I pushed against the bars to corner I just pushed myself sideways on the seat springs. A solidly mounted seat pad made things much better. I've been off the road trikewise for over a year now & off 2 wheels since about February & I'm really starting to miss it now. :(

I used a pair of Shocks mounted on the bottom rails to the underside of the seat (1957 Field Marshall Tractor seat) Did not get any side movement at all Title: Re: 5-7 Gallon Harley Tanks wanted. Post by: Manky Monkey on June 18, 2006, 09:47:56 AM When we started out on Flap's trike, (it's the orange one, not featured cos it's not finished yet, but it'll be in the forum somewhere), I really wanted to fit a pressed steel tractor seat, padded with a little foam & upholstered in black vinyl, but couldn't find one anywhere. Went for a large universal solo pad in the end. Looks good though.
Title: Re: 5-7 Gallon Harley Tanks wanted. Post by: TwistedPatience on June 18, 2006, 10:01:16 AM Still have it in the garage should anyone require a nice Tractor seat.
Title: Re: 5-7 Gallon Harley Tanks wanted. Post by: Manky Monkey on June 18, 2006, 10:10:30 AM Hmm, hook it up with that GT motor or one of Byz's VW engines for a new trike project...No, No, No!! Too many projects already!
