Well, yes I have seen that post, I want to make a 6 to 7 gallon tank, that looks good, hand made. But I don't know a good body shop around me

If I may...... Back in the "heyday" of Chopping/Customizing the 1400 ( on the Purple Board from about 10 to 18 years ago) ....There once was a 6 gallon tank available from a guy in Germany.
And it was really BIG-looking when installed on the 1400.

Why is because of the huge center "tunnel" the 1400 needs

It did have good Styling/Shape,......but it really was about as big as anyone thought would look appropriate on the sleek lines of the 1400.

One of the big problems with the 1400 is the short length of the tank. The trippletree comes around an hits anything that goes too far forward which determines the length of the tank more than anything. This forces a tank larger than a little over 4 gallons to either be very wide or very bulbous which will detract from the lines of the bike.

True and true, I am having a real hard time getting somebody to make me a fuel tank. I have seen this ones online but is only pictures.




But Intruderteam does not apper to be making them anymore I think I am late to the party.

I like your choice of words there,...."late to the Party".

Indeed, the customizing of 1400's has pretty much fallen off quite alot. You might try contacting Hans at LMC in Germany.
I have bought several parts from him that went on my Chopper.

I thought I saw his Fuel Injection Item in his online shopping "catalog".

I was working on an FI system for the 1400,...but,....he beat me to it.

Hey Designer, Hans is not ansering my phone calls nor my emails. Do you happen to have any experience with his tear drop fuel tank? Is his website reliable? Does he still working?
