Default Need help with Custom Tank Install on 96 Sportster

I have posted this in the Sportster section also. Wasn't sure where would be the best place. Has anyone here installed a Custom Fat Bob tank on a 95-96 Sportster. I just purchased one and it says Ignition switch on 95 up models need to relocated. Where does it relocate to and what is needed?? any pics would help. This is a 4.2 gallon, twin cap, round top, stretched tank made by Custom Chrome. Any hints or advice would really be appreciated.
Thanks guys!!

I had a similar tank on my sportster, just single cap. Just folow the instructions, pre-fit everything and take your time.Make sure the bike is standing straight up, not on the side stand, hard to get things level that way.

Custom Chrome should also offer the coil/switch relocation kit. Its basically a u-shaped bracket that mounts to the rear of the choke knob. I did this same tank on an 03.

Here's some pictures of my first sporty me and my dad built, we had to fab some different brackets to get the tank mounted.
