Can't say that I've seen on in the last 4 or 5 years. They were the rage back in the early 90's on the desert bikes, Ben Schlimme, Sundahl, etc... I'd like to have one for a future project if there's one around. I think many of them were Team KWIK tanks...

This isn't much help but there is a guy out there that was building custom aluminum trail gas tanks for arctic cat snocross sleds they were beautiful; I think it was Fast Eddies Trail Tanks or something like that he could probably build you a beautiful one.

I saw a 250r on CL recently that had a huge aluminum tank on it. It was some desert looking bike.

I will look for it.

Troy, hontrx265r had an aluminum tank made for his crf hybrid. Also, pinitatv has an aluminum tank on his Walsh KTM. Both of those tanks are standard size, but they might know where you could get an oversized one made.
