I hear you legion, I get about the same in my Vette. That's why I bought the Harley!

 

Looks great man. Good luck with the badges. They can be tricky to find.

 

Oh man, wish I had that tank! That would definitely help me out. With work, school, and the ladies house being in completely opposite positions I fill up probaby 3 times a week!

 

Badge will make it look better imo

 

I have a '15 Iron with a 3.3 gallon tank. I sometimes think of going to a 4.5 in order to get longer distances between fill ups. But I *really* like the look of my 3.3 peanut tank.

I swapped my 48 tank to the nightster tank as well..
I get about 93 miles on a full tank before I feel uncomfortable and need to fill it up.
In canada thats about 150 km per tank.
I ride about 60 km a day for work so I fill up usually every two days.
If I had the older tank I would fill up once a day for sure.
Each tank cost me about 12 bucks canadian. In a week just for work alone I spend maybe 35 bucks on gas.

 

With about 3,700 kms on my 883, the low fuel light comes on when I've done 175 kms or so. I usually fill up immediately when happens, and put 8.5 litres in. That means I'm getting 4.8 litres per 100 kms. As it's a 12.2 litre tank, that means I've still got 3.7 litres left.

I'm pretty pleased with those numbers.

My apologies to those of you who use miles and gallons. I usually translate that sort of thing out of courtesy, but am a bit busier than usual today. Any online conversion site or app will give you the numbers you need to see.

saw this on exile cycles page....

 

I head for the gas station at 100 miles or so knowing i have about 1.3 gallons left if i need to hit reserve on my 06 with a 3.3

 

60 miles (+/-2 miles) for every tankful on my 48. Doesn't worry me that I am filling up so frequently.

IMHO the 48 is all about the peanut tank and it really does lose some of its look with the bigger tanks
