Eight gallon tank?

[JC19]

There is a craigslist ad locally that has a 99 Tourer with an 8 gallon tank. He says it's rare. Was that an option, or is it custom? Also says linked brakes and Brembo master cyl. Just curious.

7 gallon could be a IS tank.
8 gallon or more aftermarket.
Looked in average condition and over priced, as far as I can tell.
Yeah I know custom paint, seat and bags, note the missing exhaust over plate?

If it's really 8 gallons it's not from Honda...

I think some company made a 8 - 10 gallon fiberglass or carbon fiber tank back in the day, they were notorious for leaking.

It could be an Interstate tank that he's just inflating the size of by a gallon. Or it could be a totally custom job, but it's definitely not a factory option if it's really 8 gallons.

looks like custom welded tank. There were a couple made yrs ago, one by Lamont, took std tank, cut it in half and weld a section in the middle. that looks like one.  the fiberglass tank looked completely different than that, more of a bubble look and was 10 gals.

Regardless of the tank and whatever farkles the machine has,  $10K is a pipe dream.

I figured it was an ACE Supertank but looking at the pictures, the profile is off compared to the one I had.

By nearly 50%!

You could buy two really nice Valks for $10 grand and have a lifetime supply.

But you wouldn't have linked brakes or an eight gal. tank!
