Fellow builders Steve Broyles Sr. and Jr. don’t market many of their one-off parts, but when they do, it’s always good and unusual. Like the release of their new Porthole Glass Oil Tank letting you see your engine oil in full motion. Father and son had been thinking of making a Porthole Glass oil tank for some time, so when they began building one of their custom bikes called Deuce’s Wild, they decided they would go for it and made it a reality with some prototype parts made by Fabricator Kevin. The fully polished stainless steel oil tank features ¼ inch tempered glass sealed with Viton o-rings, polished brass end rings, and six-polished brass covered stainless steel rods. Priced at $899, I think it’s quite a good value for such a unique part with intensive labor involved (please don’t do a fish bowl theme). For more information, go to Stevenson’s Cycle, or call Steve on my behalf at 734-641-2200.

I really like this piece, Wouldn’t want one on my personal bikes……..no one wants to see how dirty my oil is! Good price. peace
Excellent, but I could see someone getting carried away with the nautical theme.
I’d like to see other fitments too.
I like it, cool.
Loved it on Duece’s Horse bike. Thise guys not only build great bikes, but are kool too.
Cool product- very Captain Nemo-ish…..
Da Vincie is already marketing a ‘portholed’ oil tank through Custom Chrome Europe.
I love these! I want one so bad… But that $900 price tag can eat me. I will wait till I can make one or purchase a knock off.
I think it would be realy cool for about $ 400.00. Its beautiful but a little pricey for an oil tank
