5.25-Gallon Fuel Tank Upgrade Kit for 2002–2006 V-Rod Models
The Harley-Davidson V-Rod is an exceptionally versatile motorcycle, but its limited fuel capacity has long been a concern for riders. With a practical fuel capacity of approximately 3.4 gallons, many owners have experienced the inconvenience—and potential safety risks—of running out of fuel during longer rides. To address this issue, a high-capacity replacement fuel tank was developed, increasing usable fuel capacity by more than 50% while maintaining compatibility with the original motorcycle design.
Key Features
- Manufactured entirely in the USA using advanced rotational molding technology.
- Provides approximately 5.25 gallons of usable fuel capacity (20 liters), representing a 54% increase over the stock tank.
- Extensively impact tested to exceed both U.S. and European safety standards.
- Relocates the ignition switch to a more accessible location while retaining factory seat-release functionality.
- Compatible with 2002–2006 VRSCA, VRSCB, VRSCD, VRSCSE, and VRSCSE2 models.
- Designed to integrate with the factory chassis with only minor installation modifications.
