96 FXSTS Fuel Capacity
Anyone know the size of the fuel tank that came on the 96 FXSTS? I have tried searching and some sources say 4 gal while others say 5 gal. My bike has a 5 gal and I notice a lot of people always notice the 5 gal tank when talking with me. Just wondering if previous owner may have changed it or not.

Thanks. I was mainly just curious why my tank keeps getting so much attention from others.

I might be wrong about the Springer Softail

The fuel capacity , or range is really more accurate, is the one thing I don't like about my bike, especially after the engine refresh / cam etc. I have to switch to reserve at 140 or 150 miles. I wish I could get 200 or 220 out of tank because sometimes gas stations are far apart, especially when I am exploring.
Still trying to get myself in riding condition. It's been so long, and after something pretty horrific I dealt with Thursday night at work, it made me more anxious to get back to riding to clear my head.

FWIW all the FXST's came with 5.2 gallon tanks and all the FLST's came with 4.2 gallon tanks.
