WRs used 5 gallon tanks as far back as '39 for the long race models, referred to as "Daytona" tanks. The shape is virtually the same as the first production 5 gallon tanks on '65 Electra Glides, which were one year only tanks. They are the only 5 gallon tanks with a shut-off plunger. "66 are also one year with the petcock on the right front.
