View Full Version : any pics of Porkster tanks on a bike? engine 28th February 2005, 19:48 I'm thinking of getting a POrkster tank for my '89. Looking at them in catalogs, I seem to prefer the porkster shape over the Mustang tank. I'd just like to see one on a bike before I buy. If I don't like it on a bike, I might buy a King tank. That one I know looks good...Only thing is that the porkster has one gallon more capacity than a king tank. missyd 28th February 2005, 20:08 I saw one with a porkster tank on it ... my comment is not printable here ... :censor :censor :censor :censor http://www.bikez.com/bike/10632/index.jpg look here .... http://home.rochester.rr.com/andynliz/images/dcp_0009.jpg Ironhead228 28th February 2005, 20:37 I thought the Pokster was 3.3 gal and the King was 3.1 gal.? The Porkster and a solo seat in that pic isn't very attractive. However, my neighbor has a Porkster on his 79 and it looks good with a 2-up seat. engine 28th February 2005, 20:58 the Porkster I'm looking at is 4.2 gallon, and yes the King is 3.1 gallon. alleydude 28th February 2005, 21:14 Not a big fan of the Hemorrhoid tank myself. :laugh engine 28th February 2005, 21:35 hhhmmmm, I can see that it's just about a unanimous decision...everyone seems to hate the Porkster...or hemerrhoid? Jireh cycles has a 3.4 gal King tank (could be a misprint) that comes with an aircraft style gas cap, $150. I might get that one. dwardy 28th February 2005, 21:48 I never did like the look of the Porkster. I prefer the stretched tank they sell at Jireh.http://xlforum.net/photopost/data/500/44rtside-med.jpg alleydude 28th February 2005, 22:01 hhhmmmm, I can see that it's just about a unanimous decision...everyone seems to hate the Porkster...or hemerrhoid? Jireh cycles has a 3.4 gal King tank (could be a misprint) that comes with an aircraft style gas cap, $150. I might get that one. Personally, it's just my opinion. No one will think any less of you if that is what you like. It's your bike, do what you like and be happy. engine 28th February 2005, 23:35 I think I'll get the King tank. I love the shape of the sportster tank, absolutely love it. And to tell you the truth, looking at that pic, I don't think the Porkster will do the bike justice. The king tank goes much better with the lines of the bike. Thanks for helping me decide! Jason's Sporty 2nd March 2005, 22:33 I have seen a few bikes around here with the Porkster tank. It kinda looks like a woman with Double D's that weighs 100lbs! It just ruins any balance the bike might have had. I have one of jireh's stretched 4 gallon tanks on mine. My avatar pic is of the bike from last year. I think it goes very well with the color and the cafe racer theme I am going for. :tour Chip 3rd March 2005, 02:57 Have a streched tank on mine from Jireh. Love it, the look, the extrea miles. Have a better pic in my gallery. willprevale 3rd March 2005, 04:00 . I love the shape of the sportster tank, absolutely love it. I saw my first sportster in '59 and no other tank belongs on it.
