Clarke MFG makes natural colored tanks, they arent exactly clear but better then black...Problem is I get so wound up when I ride this thing I doubt I will even look at it ...A flashing light is what I really want if possible...

Although I starting to lean towards the Clarke tank, not really because it more transparent but because its 2.6 gallon capacity compared to 1.6 stock...

Problem is their site only lists a 2011 model tank, mine is a 2012 and looks like it uses a different tank...So I do not think the 2011 will fit...Im going to send them an Email now...

Yes they said they are working with a local 2012 owner to make a tank, because as I suspected the 2011 does not fit...They just have no idea when it will actually happen...

IMS is usually pretty good and they say it fits 11-12. Maybe they are wrong or maybe there tank fits both

Actually they list 09-11 and have a separate tank for 2012 because it is different, but thanks I did not know IMS made tanks and they have a 2012 model...

bigger tank would make the bike look like poop and especially if its clear, your bikes way to done up to do going backwards on the looks of it. the bottom of the tank idea sounds cool tho

+1 love this look on the old school bikes. Works great too. You can get the stuff from Home Depot for about $5 and just use some clear fuel line
