Key Features | Buy Frisco Mount Gas Tank In Ohio

1. Frisco Mounting: The Frisco mount places the tank higher on the frame, giving a distinct custom “chopper” look. It enhances the overall stance and profile of the bike.
2. Narrow Design: A narrow tank provides a clean and streamlined appearance, especially favored in the chopper or bobber styles. It also emphasizes the frame and engine.
3. Capacity: At 2.1 gallons, this tank is smaller than standard, so it’s designed for riders who prioritize style over long-distance range. Ideal for city riding or shorter trips.
4. Material: Usually made from high-grade steel for strength and durability. It’s common to find these in either raw steel (for custom paint) or pre-painted finishes.
5. Fitment: While designed for Harley-Davidson Sportsters, some customization may be needed depending on the year and model. The Frisco-style mounting could require adjustments to the frame or seat position.
6. Vent & Petcock: Some tanks come with a vented gas cap and require specific petcock sizes (often 3/8″ NPT or 22mm). Make sure it’s compatible with your current setup.

Installation Considerations:

• Seat Clearance: Due to the raised mounting, you may need to modify or adjust the seat to ensure proper fitment.
• Fuel Range: The smaller tank means you’ll need to refuel more frequently, so consider this if you do longer rides.

This is far superior to other Frisco Sportster style gas tanks that have a petcock bung on the flat bottom of the gas tank, as when your gas tank is mounted to your frame’s backbone it is at an angle, and this traps a lot of gas which cannot be used as it is below the petcock bung location. This design with the offset petcock bung on the very back of the tank allows you to use all the gas you can fit in there!

Frisco refers to a style of motorcycle that originated in the Bay Area of San Francisco. Typically these ‘Frisco Style’ bikes would have all extraneous parts removed, stripped down to the bare essentials, narrow and nimble. Often the gas tanks would be lifted in the front so that sat up higher, allowing for maximum amount of gasoline usage in the tank. Thus the term Frisco mount, which generally means a very shallow tunnel so the gas tank sits up high on the frame’s backbone.

Note: It is highly recommended to fit your gas tank to your bike before painting. Check for clearance or mounting issues as different combinations of triple trees, risers, and handlebars may cause clearance issues when turning. Tanks are pressure tested but it is highly recommended that you or your painter pressure test it again before painting; it’s cheap insurance!
