Replica Chrome Tourist Trophy Bobber Short Oil Tank

NOTE: Purpose of tank is to raise the transmission and clutch pak for TT racing or hillclimbing for greater ground clearance. Raise transmission mount plate with 1-5/16 inch spacers and mount as stock. Battery compartment is shorter in this tank so a smaller battery is required. Chain guard will be in a raised position so modifications must be made to the front mount tab. Most TT bikes did not use a chain guard in the early racing era. Use (2) 3 inch x 3/8 inch SAE bolts and (2) 2-1/2 inch x 3/8 inch SAE bolts to mount transmission plate. Oil tank front frame mount must be removed and rewelded in place 1.25 inch upward. Requires use of a spacer on the 5th transmission mount bolt also. The raising of the transmission with the use of the shorter inchTT inch oil tank also gives the advantage of the transmission and rear sprockets of being more inline for better power transmission thru the drivetrain.
