Default 6 Gallon Fatbob tank

I would like to mount a 6 gallon tank to my 2013 Fatbob. I've looked around without any success. Do they make a tank that will fit my mode/year, and of so where can I find one? Thanks

I think you looking for a FLH tank and it’s going too take a little work fitting it, your going too have to relocate the speedo as well.

I have no issue modifying the tank. What modifications would I need to do to the speedo?

By the time you buy the FLH tank (which only has the one gas cap in the console in the middle and speedo in the fairing), and relocate your speedo to your handlebars, you'd probably be better off and save some $ and headaches having a body/metal shop modify your current tank (or get a cheap dinged up tank) to add a couple V shaped strips in the top/bottom on both sides to get you more capacity. This way, the front of the tank is widened, and the back stays pretty much the same so you won't be so bowlegged on it, but you get the higher capacity. The other alternative is to buy a custom larger tank which is made for your bike, which is usually pretty expensive.

A later model Road King, 09-up, is 6 gal & has the speedo on the tank console, be best to find one to eyeball & measure before going to far.
