Default New Tank on 2001 FXD
I just bought a 2000 Wide Glide tank for my 2001 Superglide. I have a dash, speedo, ignition switch, and indicator lights. Can any give me any pointers prior to me starting this project? Thanks.

If I were you, the first place I would start looking is in the electrical section of the HD manual (comparing the Superglide speedo & fuel guage and idiot lightwiring to the wide glide speedo/fuel guage/idiot light wiring. I believe this is where most of your work is going to be. The rest of the installation should be straight forward. I know we all would like to see pictures of your progress in this area, so please, if you can, document and photograph your progress.

Good Luck!

I sent him a couple of emails about contacting the guy that did the conversion, but I did not hear back from him.
