I did have to remove the hugger though because of clearance.   Blake Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 - 09:44 am:        Great investment, helps cool the oil too.   Outdoors Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 - 11:39 am:        Brinnutz, I pm'ed you.   Mmmi_grad Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 - 06:24 pm:        i wonder how they sell?   Mmcustoms Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 - 08:39 pm:        maybe we could get a group buy together some how ive been wanting one for my 2002 m2 i just cant spend 500.00 on a oil tank yet   Sloppy Posted on Friday, February 12, 2010 - 01:10 am:        $500 to store oil??? Before you shell out that kind of cash figure out exactly what you want for it. Cooler oil temps - exactly what is your bulk oil temperature? Longer oil change intervals - do you put enough miles on the bike to warrant it? More bling? Well, that might be one reason... I would paraphrase the Rob Muzzy commandment of: Know WHAT you want and WHY you want it before you go about spending money on it.   Rjn Posted on Friday, February 12, 2010 - 03:32 am:        buy an oil cooler, that's cheaper than a alu oil tank if you wont lower oil temps.   Skntpig Posted on Friday, February 12, 2010 - 05:38 pm:        I have the tank on my S1 and love it. Everyone notices it and asks if I made it. I wish I did. I paid about $400 years ago used. I got it for the bling...   Jayvee Posted on Friday, February 12, 2010 - 10:08 pm:        Really, "because its so cool!" is about the only rationale I can think of. And I almost bought one too, back when they were only $400...   Buellkowski Posted on Saturday, February 13, 2010 - 10:13 am:        Theoretical question: what would be the pros/cons of a cast aluminum tank? Pro: cheaper to make? Con: takes effort to polish up?   Mark61 Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 05:31 pm:        Having seen pictures of that $500 oil tank I had given thought, a person could figure out and weld up their own if they took time to make the measurements and try it with a cardboard model. If someone does let me know and might buy 1 from you! Don't even need to be shiny. mark61   Dinuns1 Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 05:45 pm:        ya if someone is willing and capable of making them id be in for one at a reasonable price .   Brinnutz Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 07:58 pm:        I've asked around and for the time invested to pay someone to make one, it's entirely to costly...   Ebutch Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 10:51 pm:
