So, I want to put a 6 gallon Fat Boy tank on my Sporty. Aside from the look, a couple of extra gallons won't hurt. I have an '06 XL1200L.

First question, if anyone has already done this, what year models of Fat Boys will better fit with my petcock setup?

Second, apes will be installed with it. So, will I need anything more than a 2 inch riser to keep the bars from hitting the tank when bars turned fully to one side?

Any help would be appreciated.

This covers step by step,,, how to wire and make mounts,,should be all you need Biker XD

 

As for apes,,,This guy used stock bars and you can see His risers,,

 

Thanks. I had an idea for mounts but couldn't envision them in my head. This helps me alot.

 

I wanted to do this with my 2009 EFI and use a FatBob tank of similar year. So I'm following this closely ^.^

 

I would rather run out of gas and push my bike than install an oversized tank like that. Post pics when you're done - I'll need a good laugh.

 

The Dyna tank on a Sportster is a great looking mod.

 

will the efi tank off a dyna be able to be used? will the fuel pump have the same pressure? ive alway liked the fatbob tank look with the dash on the tank. what efi tank could be used with the dash on the tank?

 

I'm not sure how I feel about some of these fat tanks on sportsters but I'm eager to see how this comes out. I guess it'll be nice not to run out of fuel as quickly. I was just going to carry a 1 gallon Tourtube in a pack. hehe

 

Man ... Six gallon tank on a Sportster! Must be wonderful to be young. Back in the day I had a 76 XLCH with the 2.2 gallon tank, and after 100 miles I was lookin' for a place to stand up! Post some pictures when done so we can see how it looks!
