Who makes expanded fuel tanks?

[Markar]

Is there anyone currently making the expanded FJR fuel tank? I've talk of "frankentank" but there doesn't seem to any recent mention of them. Thanks!

Nothing in recent history. IIRC it was Dirtracker (?) who was building tanks but the effort was wasn't worth the reward.

I have a friend who has a new one for sale. (10.4 gal.) ‘18 paint.

DT's tanks are works of art, JSNS.

Dirttracker was making them.  I don't think he does anymore.

Correct, based upon my last conversation with Dirttracker.

I've got Harry's serial no. 1 tank, about a 9 gallon tank for my 2014.  I take it on and off depending on what I am doing.  About a ten minute swap at most.  Nice to have the additional tankage for long trips.

I'm assuming he's referring to Dan Simmonds's tank.  He's got it posted over on the Iron Butt Forum:
