Joseph Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I have an oil tank i can put on a water frame and you can do the reverse maths to give you an idea if you want. From what i remember it really doesn't swap that well despite the likeness. If on top of that you plan on using the stock rear seat panels i think it's a clear no. A racey monoseat cowl could work though 1 Quote Link to comment
Joseph Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 The front and sides are fine, main issue will be at the back, you can see how short the oil cooled tank falls compared to the rear mount screws on the W frame. Also, check pictures online, the W tank swoops down lower towards the top rail of the subframe (around that second squarish angle of the main frame. 2 Quote Link to comment
Digs Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Really helpful thread. I know it's been a while since this was posted but, has anyone put/got any pictures of a 750 W tank on a Slingshot frame? (I'm tempted to use a w tank and not planing on keeping factory fairings or subframe) 1 Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Some one did it on the old site I seem to remember they welded infills on the bottom back of the tank for aesthetic reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment
george 1100 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Easy fit. Need to fab a rear bracket and from memory, the front bracket needs to be flipped. The rear of tank sits further back so more suited to a custom seat. Petcock works out 2 Quote Link to comment

It's bolted on the frame on the watercooled bikes (pictured in that photo i put here the other day) Edited March 7, 2022 by Joseph 1 Quote Link to comment
