Has anyone ever seen or heard of anyone modifying a VTX tank to have the gas filler on the top right corner to allow for more gas? or does anyone knwo of anyone that build custom tanks for the VTX 1300C?
Im having mine done like that right now. Don't know if it'll allow more gas but I guess it could. Many places online do it. You can check out links custom graphics and talk to Eli. Very reasonable price wise.

The right-orientation is so you don't have to stand your bike up for a full fill. My wife's Shadow is like that. Mine I still have to stand up while I fill it.

I understand, I'd like it if mine were on the right corner so I could fill it up more. But I'm not into spending lots of dough on a new tank and staying on the bike to fill up sucks at stations where there is no where to put your gas cap. That is why I bought Glens Gas Cap Hinge. Cheap, easy and looks awesome. Now I don't have to worry about where to put the cap, it just flips up and out of the way.
I also have Glen's gas cap hinge and I made a round block about 2 " high that I carry in my saddlebag. If I want to get that little extra in I just pull out the block, under the kickstand and filler up.. then :choppersm
