Default 6 gallon tank for FXDWG?

The only thing I noticed on the 1700 miles home was the ~12 stops for fuel...


Anyone done a 6 gallon tank on an FXDWG? How do you like it? My preference would be an aftermarket tank, ready to paint, that will bolt right up with no issues...is this possible?

Be glad you don't have a sporty tank at 2.5 gallons.

Most of the guys around on this forum probably just pop open their gas cap going down the freeway and dump whatevers in their cup into their tank and keep chuggin along (their drinks are comparable to airplane octane levels)

I've seen some funky gas tanks since I've gotten in this lifestyle so I'm positive they are out there. Now finding one that is fairly cheap and will bolt right up is a different story. May have to get someone to customize you one. Wish I could be more of service but this interests me as well so I'll be peeking in to see what the expert fabricators bring to this topic. Goodluck

A 6 gallon tank would be perfect. Anyone taken a touring tank and make it work?
