Default Superglide Tank Question

I have a tank for a superglide listed on the "parts" board and someone asked me a question that I do not know the answer to. I told him I would ask the question over here and soemone would know for sure.

First, https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...lide-tank.html here's the link.

The question: Would this tank fit a Superglide Custom? Do any of you Superglide people know if there is a different tank for the SG and the SG custom?


Thanks in advance for all your help.

Ben

The tanks are different but they will mount on either bike.

The 08 custom has the speedo in the tank so if he went with your SG tank he would have to move it to the bars or somewhere else.

the lack of fuel gauge and filler gauge holes should give away the answers. Yes it will fit, no, the consoles are different.

the dynas have used 3 tanks since 2004.

tank#1 = 04+ Superglide, 04+ FXDX, 04-06 superglide custom (FXDC), 07 FXDSE
tank#2 = 04+ Lowrider, 06+ Street Bob, 08 FXDSE.
tank#3 = 04+ wide glide, 06 35th anniversary, 07+ Superglide custom, 08+ Fat Bob

The above is for direct replacement. Bberk (above) nails the alternative considerations.
