Looks like a 1995 FLSTN, Heritage Special.

 

I remember it has a vin on the frame, I will try to remember to write it down

 

1HD1BJL27HY020405 Ran the vin and says the frame is 87 Heritage Softail From what I read, the 87 and up to 2006 will interchange for stuff like sissy bars and such So I assume now this would be a one piece tank? I haven't looked into it yet

 

It’s probably a two piece Fat Bob, is the left side a gauge or removable gas cap? The dash and the seam filler panel is only a couple bolts to remove. Do you have a painless dent remover locally?

You can normally find replacement tanks at swap meets or even EBay already painted in factory colors or even custom colors
,
like I stated earlier that bike was probably salvaged titled to get that assembled from parts designation, I really like the looks of it as is and sense it runs good, nice bike to have.

 

Before giving up on straightening out the dents in the gas tank, consider using a spot weld stud dent puller to pull out the dents, and finish the repair with body filler. Most body shops have this equipment if you're not up to the task, so it's not necessary to replace the fuel tank. Rinse the tank thoroughly with Simple Green and water before using a spot welder on it.

Tanks for `85 -96 are:
RH 61218-85A
LH 61426-86C

 

Ditto on this, since easy to pull the dents,bondo if needed and sand, then repaint (since front fender needs touched up and maybe a few other spots on the bike as well), than its going to cost to replace the tanks in the first place, and still have to paint them in the end.

As for built from parts in 97 bike, verse the salvage 87 Heritage Soft tail frame it's built on, would just refer to its as a 87 Heritage Soft tail that has been customized. Hence frame, motor and trans all look to be Harley, so enough parts of the bike to call in Harley in the first place; verses calling anything that Polaris makes an Indian, since after 1950 when rogers close shop to go work for TI, and only thing on the bikes that was Indian after that, was the sticker name on the gas tanks alone).
