We need a larger fuel cell

Someone has had to of came up with something. I use the kymco zx50 fuel tank which is only slightly larger, and only seems to fit if the oil tank is gone. Id like a fuel cell the size of my under seat compartment with out putting a fuel cell inside. I had one inside a 89 bucket and wasnt satisfied and didnt pursue it further.
Id like to get one that doesnt look all jacked up or obviously done with half a thought. Any ideas or pre existing products?

I have a mate who makes intake manifolds and surge tanks and all sorts of alloy stuff ive spoken to him and have given him some measurements to build a custom tank for my spree.Id like it to drop down the sides of the frame and fill up the hole where the oil tank was .You know how it is he has so many jobs on but it is in the works

For an aero without the oil tank you can custom extend the fuel tank or go to a smaller carb or change gears.

I have seen an under-the-seat aluminum aux. tank for Dio on webike but I dont know how it would work with the elite tank hooked up to it also. There's not a lot of room underneath the bucket to run fuel line, petcock, etc. It says 4.8 litre capacity!!!

Either you or me, so I guess I'll get some kick stands then. and some brake levers.

I'm planning to do this in the spring. Extending the tank back ~3-4", and moving the battery back as far as I can.
