Brigger sumptin larger than the 4.5? I dunno. I looked into it a while back.
Wasn't able to find one that would fit in without some sort of modifications.

You have to be careful of the height and width. Don't want the speedo/tach or bars slamming into it.

Can plump it out on the sides, You would have to pull it to gain access to the top of the motor. Do we have someone that can modify tanks on this site and offer some input. Try and wrestle one of the Boss Hoss tanks on her. You could ride forever without gass'in.

But then again, a Boss Hoss tank on a Sporty is kinda like tits on a bull.

John 1:14

It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the LORD.
----Abraham Lincoln

At petrol at £5.00 a gallon or approx $9.75 a gallon,it would make my VTECH Civic cheap to run in comparison....

At least I could make my 700 mile weekend round commute home completely unbearable... !!

I have a job to stop now... I hate stopping of petrol,

Imagine sat there for 7 hours.... torture.... we can only manage about 50mph average in the uk... with lots of bursts up to 100-110mph... heh heh thats puts the grin back...
