Here at BCR, we see the gas tank as the part of the bike that will carry the overall look of the bike. You could tell the bikes
attitude from the lines, shapes, and curves of the tank. So, in dedication to the gas tanks that we made and our love and
hardships in making them, this page is solely for the cafe custom gas tanks that BCR had made. All the tanks that BCR
makes are made in-house, and were hand fabricated from 16 gauge flat sheet of metal, fiberglass and now carbon fiber.
Just like our bikes, the gas tanks that we make are all original. We also do gas tanks that were special ordered by customers
and others form fellow bike builders.
