I own a 2010 sportster 48..I want to swap the stock tank for a larger gas tank..has anyone done this?

 

Quite a few people have and there was a thread about it recently. This guy talks about doing his swap.

 

Yes. I went from this (original tank):



To this (3.3 gallon)



To this (4.5 gallon):




Any EFI sporty tank (from 2007 up I believe) will fit - they are all interchangeable. I got them on ebay, you can use the same fuel pump. There are vids on youtube how to swap a tank.

 

Recently did it myself on my 2014 48.

Purchased a tank from TC Bros.

I had to buy 1' length of fuel line tubing for the fuel vent since it's on the other (right) side. Wound up using windshield fluid tubing (it's only venting anyhow) and it cost my a whopping 73 cents.

 

Anyone switched out their stock tank for a larger non-sporty tank perhaps from a dyna or other models? Encounter any issues. Did you have to do any mods to get the tank to fit and operate?

 

I would like to see more pics if anyone has changed the tank to a dyna or something bigger than the 883R tank.

 

@barrachuck - see post #365 on this thread for pic of a Dyna tank on a sporty. Looks awesome to me.

Just wanted to find out more specific information on which tank and any challenges encountered on the install.

 

I replaced the 3.3 gallon on my 2013 Iron with OEM Sportster 4.5 gallon tank. Just had to change the seat, which I was going to to do anyway. Easy job and takes about an hour. I also have a programable gauge, so had to enter the new capacity tank and it reads just fine. Love the 180 mile range on the bike. This size tank also should be just fine on the 48. I would recommend using OEM parts.
