Rmar Posted January 10, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2015 I bought a 2006 RSV I am newbie to this site but have enjoyed all the help and support on the site. My question is my Betsy has abiut a 5 gallon gas tank no star emblems. I am thinking it should have a six gallon tank. Is there amod or something where the tank is swapped. Just curious like thebike the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted January 10, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 10, 2015 I think TankerHank did that mod on his RSTD. He is on the Royal Star Venture and Tour Deluxe forum on delphi forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted January 10, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 10, 2015 I think the tank on the RSV is 6 gals capacity but you can only put in a bit more than 5 because of the way the tank is made. Some have put holes in the filler neck to allow air to escape and allow for a fuller tank. Lots of guys in here have taken the tank emblems off just as a personal look preference.

MikeWa Posted January 10, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Do a search on punching the filler neck. Once done you can put in the full six gallons. After punching don't fill it to the brim and park in warm sunlight. Or you will discover how well the vent pukes out excess fuel.

Rmar Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks for the info. It has the 130 front tire and set back handle bars. Rides Great and I am loving it.

Condor Posted January 11, 2015 Share #6 Posted January 11, 2015 The RSTD's have a 5 gallon tank, and I also think they have one in Black Cherry, only a different year... if I remember correctly. Tried checking the history section, but I didn't see a black cherry listed in TD colors??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
