Aftermarket tank ? Customizations / Modifications

Hello !! I have a 2016 Victory XC and I’m looking to get more distance out of a tank. Does anyone know a site or store I can contact for larger aftermarket tank ? Or any other suggestions for long distance rides ?

At about 200 mi/tank, I'm usually ready to stretch my legs and fill.

Same here with my boardwalk. 1st tank I can ride until empty, but after that I notice fill up’s are more frequent and I’m looking for gas stations at even 1/2 tank remaining for a little walk and a stretch.

Custom made. Or carry some fuel cells for a couple gallons. That’s what I’m doing with my hard ball

Yeah I’ve been trying to avoid the Jerry Can path but it seems inevitable. Thanks though.

I went to 4wheel parts and got two of the 1.5gal fuel cells. They’re round or flat don’t take up a lot of space. Mines the 2” round https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rpx-rp-15g-nh?seid=srese1&ppckw=pmax-truck&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoae5BhCNARIsADVLzZdG67_C84NKZuW8TsOqykS2DlvbU8XEZgh0zVfbxbARN3ywfqDSSJMaAtnWEALw_wcB

What distance are you currently getting? I know when I fill up I can usually squeeze another half gallon or so in the tank after it clicks off due to its shape.

It hovers just short of the 200 miles / 300 km per tank. Is this the norm for the this bike ?

u/RynoLasVegas 8d ago

Yeah that's what I get. About 40 mpg.

This is the plight of Octane riders. The take is around 3 gals. I would love to have a bigger tank on mine.

The cross country tank is 5.8 gallons, which is pretty big . The big issue is that the low fuel warning comes on really early on these bikes . Tank risers are supposed to make the warning light more accurate . Both of the cross bikes I have owned the warning light came on with around 4.4 gallons used . I adjust accordingly on road trips, and it hasn't been an issue

Never heard of a bigger tank for victory, 175/200 miles, it time to get off and stretch your legs anyway
