Yes. It's taller at the back, and will scrunch the nose of your seat, but it fits. The seat can be adjusted by an upholsterer if you want...

I love mine on my 97. With std tank, running fast, I have hit reserve at 74 miles! The extra gas is GREAT!
Plus, I think the larger size looks better. The Valk is a big bike, and I like the looks with the larger tank.

You will need to get a plug for the sending unit hole in the Interstate tank. Big BF sells them. If you buy a new tank from Honda (spendy) it may come with a plug. Depending on how you run your handle bars, you may have to adjust them upward. With the exception of seat/tank contact, the tank is a direct fit.

Here is my 97 with an Interstate tank...... With the Corbin Standard seat I pulled back the seat cover, cut back the nose of the seat pan, then pulled the cover back down for the larger tank.....  .......and with the Corbin Stinger seat I put a spacer under the latch on the seat to lift it up enough to clear the larger tank.  |

Has anyone taken advantage of the sending unit and added an aftermarket fuel gauge to a non-IS model?
Have a buddy with a tourer and am thinking of ways to hook him up.

I put the motosens unit on my IS tank on my tourer. Motosens are made in Germany by a Valk owner, to match the valk headlight and speedo/tach units. Very high quality. Nice looking. Uses OEM sender. Mine is very accurate. MP |

Hey MP, I ran my tank empty today, went to reserve (pingel) at 160 miles, got me 15 more miles, took (5.5 gallons on fill) ??? It was a tank of E10, think I might have made 200 on regular. That was 65-75 mph solo, no wind. 35.6 mpg. Hoser  |
