Is it possible to remount the mirrors in the upward position?

Is the current 883 tank the same as the nightster tank mentioned in this thread? I came across a good deal today and wanted to make sure it would fit before I dropped the cash. Thanks in advance for any info.

I know I'm late to this party but if anyone still keeps tabs on this thread I'd like to know how many miles the peanut 3.3 nightster tank gives you. Looks like Daniel Hunter installed it on his 48. The stock tank is only giving me 75 miles on a good day. Anyway, I'd be interested in the gain on the mileage per tank on the larger tanks.
