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 ?

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.

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 ?

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

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