        My bad. Pulled out a spare and compared. Looks like the real deal. Wish I had the cash.

              Perhaps it is just the angles and reflection in the tank, but it sure looks like it has a big azz dent in the top of it.

                  Since I can't find a decent Standard tank, what would you guys recommend for a secondary fuel tank? The ones I have seen online look more expensive than having one custom fabbed locally.

                    The ones I've seen mount behind the rider on a luggage rack. They can be plumbed to pump the fuel into the stock tank when needed or just switched to flow from the rear. You might talk to the Iron Butt folks for suggestions.
