Awesome job. Personally though, i dont know if i would want such a wide tank on my 48. For anyone wondering, you can ALSO use ANY Harley tank from 07-13. A tank from another sportster or even a Nightster would work. There are 3.5 or 3.7 gallon tanks that will work on the 48 as well. Which is PROBABLY what i am going to put on mine. It will add some extra fuel capacity, but keep that slim look of the 48 without being too wide.

Yo what’s up brotha! So can you tell me this, the fuel vent line from the tank, the one that’s closest to the seat, does that just vent to the ground or is it suppose to attach somewhere?

@Harleymike_48 4 ай бұрын

How are you brother, this tanks are pressurized, so that tube should be an overflow tube so when you put more gas it should push it out to the bottom of the bike by the stand, not a vented tube for fumes. Where did you see the connection open bottom or tank?
