Custom stretched tank for Road King, Road Glide, Electra, and Street Glide

Bad Dad's stretched tank is currently the simplest way to stretch the tank on your custom Touring motorcycle. Our tank is simply a cover that installs over your existing tank and allows you to retain the functionality of all your stock parts, including your seat and dash.

Here's how we install our stretched tanks:

1. Start by removing the seat, dash, and any emblems off the tank.

2. Next, fit one side of the shroud over the tank.

3. Then, fit the other side.

4. Next, drill out the front tab bolt hole and insert the factory bolt. This bolt will keep the shroud lined up on the tank.

5. Now you can install your factory dash. Notice how the alignment holes still line up.

6. If installing this on a Road King, now is the best time to open up your gas gauge and gas cap holes.

7. After fitting your dash, you are now ready to install the seat. The shroud is very "full" on the top which makes this shroud work with both stock and aftermarket seats. In order to get a nice fit, you will want to slowly open up the shroud until the seat fits in the pocket created by the two shroud halves..

8. This is how the shroud looks once the dash and seat are matched to the tank.

9. After everything is mocked up, you can remove the shroud and paint it. Once painted, you are ready to attach the shroud to your factory tank.
While it's not required, either epoxy or silicone can be used to adhere the shroud to the tank.

10. After reattaching the front bolt hole, the shroud can be glued to the tank.

11. Once it has adhered, install both the dash and seat.

12. Finished.
