Default Gas Tank

I am looking for a gas tank that will fit an 2005 Sportster that has a flush mount mechanical fuel gauge. Which Harley bike and year can I take one from that will fit? Are there other options? Thanks for the help.

Maybe ask your Question in the "Sportster" section. You'll get knowledgeable replies.

Nothing OEM will bolt directly on...

If you have seen a bike with such a thing, we may be able to help identify it, but I also don't know of a Harley tank with such a thing. Take a look around the J&P website, it is just possible they may have something. If you buy a twin filler-cap tank you could use one filler hole to install a gauge.

I would search out a older Dyna tank and come up with a solution to make it fit. The 2003 had a gas gauge center and a filler above it. It's your chance to be one of a kind.
