Has anyone used a aftermarket oil tank. I am looking at this one.

My first one did the normal crack and I bought a used one and it was the same way. Don't feel like spending $150 or more on another cracked one if this aftermarket one is good.
Thanks for lookin.

I have one on my Attak. Amazing quality and lifetime guarantee. Can't ask for more. Supposed to run cooler oil temps as well, based on what their website says (haven't checked personally).

Thanks for posting this, just saw mine was cracked and really hesitant about buying a used one. This is my next purchase!
Cheers!

When I bought my 2011 sled used, it had a new OEM tank installed under YES warranty by prior owner, the original cracked apparently. I have since installed the BOP oil tank isolator kit on my tank mounts as a preventative measure for future. These are basically rubberized iso-mounts that work extremely well imo.
For guys concerned about this oil tank cracking/leaking issue, I would highly recommend this simple kit, I would even consider it if you have the aftermarket tank.
