Larger Capacity Gas Tank for Magnas

[flea121]

I would like to be able to get a bit more mileage out of my '96 Magna between fill ups.  I've seen the Valk mod that is on the MOOT site, but I myself am no welder nor do I have access to the tools or any friends in the welding trade.  Much less the patience to tackle something like that...  

Is there an aftermarket tank or anything of the sort that anyone knows about that will be a direct bolt on for a Magna?

Thanks,

Wade, I have heard of folks getting a small fuel cell from places such as Jegs or Summitt racing and mounting on a luggage rack.
I met a guy from NY that rode his Magna to Eureka Springs, Arkansas with this method in 2001.  
This is not my endorsement, just what I have seen.
I personally would find a way to get the Standard Valk tank fitted to the Magna.  
I wish I had the tools to do the Mod, I would be making them and selling them, hehehe.

Sorry I don't live closer, I be happy to help with the modification , thats what I  did for a living, fabrication. I have been meaning to tell everyone don't throw your damaged tanks away they're not hard to repair. I have priced new tanks  $400.00 to $600.00 in this area. Unless they're completely crushed they can be repaired for a fraction of that. I live in Texarkana but if I can help anyone  let me know.

 Fattank builds a 5 galons tank for the Magna but they want $ 1450.00 for it. I have the chance to look at one in the ROT and looks great on the bike . I am thinking about buy one for my 1994 Magna but is too  expensive.

Sounds like Charles is your guy then, $400-600 is a lot cheaper than $1450!
