hey there garbage .tell it like it is.

Sadly the pictured tanks are Panhead, not Knucklehead, tanks of some unknown year as it is impossible to see what type of emblem mounts were removed from them. They have also been poorly modified to fit a cat-eye dash. The inside of '47 tanks are unique and look like these with no indentations for head clearance.

Thats not true Robbie, I have had both types of 47 tanks. From what I have gathered by looking at a lot of original 47's is that the earlier 47's have the smooth bottoms like you have shown and later ones have the indentations. Dont know when it started but There is definitely 2 types.

About the tanks for sale, there is a lot wierd things going on with them, mainly around where the dash fits in the tanks. It looks like the tanks were beat in to accomadate an earlier dash base?

hey everyone,thanks for your input to the tanks I have.As I said they were on my 41 FL and were originally bought at Syracuse Super swap a few yrs back.Was told when I found them they were 47 tanks.Most of my bikes are pre 30s American makes.I figured our forum would bring the experts out to give some critical input.They are what they are.Hey Uncle Loyd,don't beat up a brother.See ya all at Rhinebeck .

Here are 2 sets of 47 only tanks I have, the Black and white ones are the later style and the rusty ones are the earlier style, but both are original 47 only tanks with the right tank fuel fitting closer to the mounting bracket than 1948 and later tanks.
