Replace 1985 Fuel Tank
Looking for a replacement for the stock 1985 FLHTC gas tank. Don't want a stretched look just a more rounder look. Any ideas and thoughts you guy have would be great.
Thanks

Look around [especially in the Shovelhead section] for the "T" conversion to Road King type...
Not that Hard really...Look pretty good too, since the RK is nothing but a redo of the original FLHS!!

The tank used on the following models, including my 1990 FLHS, is more rounded than the earlier flat-sided style and should be the easiest to adapt. If you're a glutten for punishment you could always try one of the latest 6 gallon tanks, which can be persuaded to fit, as long as you don't have the c/v type carb!

You can put just about any newer touring tank on there without much trouble. The front mount has not moved since the shovel days...I have a newer street glide tank on my 83...had to drill one hole and use a carb petcock adapter,since it was a fuel injected tank...I welded a nut to the frame for the rear mount...but you could use a rivet-nut.
