Care to share the details? Is that the tank from the new LRS?

I've been contemplating this as well. Please share more technical details.
My bike is brand new but 3.5gal is not enough for long trips. I'm still deciding between Low Riser S Tank or FXDR tank. Any fitting issues? Did you need to make modifications to seat or frame?

Sweet! Subscribed and awaiting more details. This is definitely a mod I'm interested in. Probably not cheap though I would imagine.

Based on the instrument panel my guess is that tank is from the Sport Glide. Is that correct?

Or maybe the Fat Boy's. Lets hope the OP replies soon, I am very interested on this mod. I didn't think the 3.5 gallon tank would be a big deal, but I find myself stopping a lot more often than I like just to make sure I won't run out of gas before the next gas station.

I was thinking that as well but the trim is what makes me think it's the Sport Glide tank. Either way it looks nice and the extra 1.5 gallons would be very welcome.

I want to know if it bolted right up or if any modifications had to be made for fitment.
