New tank on my Forty Eight
I got a 3.3 peanut tank put on my forty eight. Not really to extend range but to cut down on trips to the gas station. I had it painted Ontario Orange, same color as my 72 Vette. I am very happy with how it turned out! Now I just need to find some old school badges to finish it off. The first time my light came on I stopped to fill up right away. I put in 2.2 gallons, so still just over a gallon in the tank. The manual says though that it should come on at .8 gallons left. Either way that's a good amount of gas left and I expect the way I ride I can get in the neighborhood of 110-120 miles from a tank. I'm not getting anywhere near the 50mpg that HD claims!

Odd Jack it's primarily a commuter bike. The two long trips I've taken on her had me wanting breaks more often than I needed fuel. That was the stock two gallon tank! I was filling up every third day with commuting and this should get me down to once a week.
You know I hadn't considered doing the fenders. I originally had the Cancun Blue flake with the black fenders. I dig the look now but may do it later down the road. I'll have to look at some other bikes and see what I think.
