Think you'd make more money if you designed a good looking 5-gallon tank for the '18 Softails that don't have one.

The 5 gallon tanks from the other models should fit. Same frame / same engine

Has anyone verified if this would work ? Maybe a Slim or Heritage tank on a Breakout? Both of those have five gallon tanks and the Breakout has 3.5.

Why would anybody want to make a Shovelhead look like a Panhead? Sure Pans are nice but Shovelheads are the handsomest engines Harley ever made.
