The fuel tank on my super glide needs to be replaced. I'm trying to search on google for an unpainted replacement but not sure what to search under. I keep getting fat bob tanks or tanks for models older than mine. I like my speedo and tach on the handlebars so I don't want a completely different tank. Anybody know where I can look?

Also - anybody see those nostalgic harley emblems in the new catalogue? They say that they can fit on - again - fat bob tanks...but could they fit on my "future" new tank? I think they just go on with adhesive.

Thanks for all the thoughts and help.

 

The "Fat Bob" tank is the right item for your FXD and comes OEM on all the Dynas.

That tank style was first introduced on the FXEF (Fat Bob v1) back in the late 70s and then was spread throughout the family.

In short, when you see "Fat Bob" tank, know that it will fit your bike and is the same item that you're replacing.

Your console, etc. will fit exactly as it did before.

 

if its an FXD i do not think its a fat bob tank

 

I've got a silver pewter 07 FXD tank PM me if your interested.

Oh shoot. You're right. I just checked the facts and the FXD tank is 4.8 gal and the other Dyna's have the 5.1 gal "Fat Bob" tank.

Hmmm...

 

Are you sure you wouldn't want a nice stretched tank...would change the whole look?

 

Sure, I could go for a stretched fuel tank but not sure where I have to look or what else I would have to change. I like the guages on the handlebars for a different look so that is one thing I don't want to change.

 

I am prepping a superglide tank to put on my Street Bob right now. Bought it off Ebay for 50.00 bones. Look up a seller named OtisRitman Cycles. They have lots of tanks.As you have found out, all Fat Bob tanks are not the same. Different fuel capacities. Different locations for fill and guages. Somewith access panel, some not. Just keep checking ebay daily and someone will list one soon. I hope that somebody catches up with electronic ignition and starts making some cool tankswith access panelfor the newer bikes.

 

Thanks - I'll look that seller up. Is the tank a true Harley tank (doesn't have to be) and/or was it primed, etc? Geez....I'd love to find a tank for $50!
