It took a long time to get Husky to make a larger tank and think of how many Huskys are sold in North America. I think the best we're gonna get is either IMS or Clark tanks for our bikes. And then you have to have a minimum order before they will commit to a run. I know P3 made a very small run (2-3) over size tanks for the Huskys out of CB. Very impressive but also very expensive.
We all except our bike to get better each year but it puts a very big strain on non OEM parts (IE fuel tanks) when the manufacture changes the design every few years.

It's our own fault for always wanted something new and not being satisfied with what we have.

We ride long days here in Devon England, and also ride Wales/Cornwall.Tank range can be an issue for me - 1 litre in back pack, (lots of XRs - never stop)
Bigger stock tank would be a bonus.
