Default Tank change on a Thunder Mountain Custom

Making some changes to my 06 TMCC 240 Baditude and need some advice. I want to change out the H-D softail tank with something more along a bobber style. Just don't know enough about the TMCC frame to know what will work and what won't. Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Also, looking to change to a sprung seat as well. Gonna be a challenge as all the electrical crap underneath will have to be dealt with. There's also an electrical component at the base of the rear fender I need to figure out what to do with. HELP!

Horns up!

I'm a fan of the 'Porkster' but I like the 'King' too--fuelcells

As far as the wiring in the way under the seat--I'd probably just tighten it all up & shove it into a box I could relocate, well, anywhere really.

I suspect you are going to have to 'make' something work, unless you stumble in to something that is bolt-on. King tank would look good!
