Replacement gas tank for FXR
I have a '94 FXRP, with the tach and speedo mounted ahead of the bars. The existing gas tank has a console with the gas cap and fuel gauge mounted on it.
I want to replace the gas tank with a 4.5-5.0 gal size and put my instrumentation on the tank.
Can anyone help me determine how/if this can be done?

RE: Replacement gas tank for FXR
Hi Zoomie
Just for fun, I looked up what kind of fat bob tanks were available for '94 FXR's in J&P's catalog. They have several holding from 4 to 5 gals. Fat bob's use a tank mounted dash like you wanted. The dash insturments would have to be spliced into your existing wiring...no problems there.
Do yourself a favor and check out some of the discount houses like jireh and usa twins. You'll get far better prices thru them than J&P. Good luck.

Apehog,
Thanks for the reply. I have looked thru the J&P calalog. I also e-mailed their tech site asking for assistance. I don't recall any 5 gal. fat bobs for the fxr though. A shop in Georgetown (TX) says there is a genuine H-D 4.5 gal tank that still has an active part number. You can imagine that it is pricey$$$.
Any idea if 5 gal. split tanks could be mounted to the FXR?
I'm going to look thru the J&P catalog again.
Do you have any web addresses for the other parts houses?

Just an update. I ended up buying a tank from H-D, with a 4.5 gal. capacity. This is a replacement tank, not an original issue. It does allow for the speedo and tach to be mounted on top, exactly like the FXLR.
Considering the prices of used/aftermarket tanks, this was only slightly more expensive.
