I have a 2015 softail breakout, is it possible to put a 2015 softail fatboy tank?
Will it fit?
It will probably require some extensive modifications. I've seen this done on Rockers and it was far from a direct fit scenario.
Anything can be done with enough time, money and patience. If you go for it, be sure to start a thread w/ details and keep us posted.
First thing to do is go to "ronnies harley davidson online parts finder" (google it). you can look up microfiche parts diagrams of the Breakout and Fatboy tanks, and get a feel for how they mount, associated parts etc.
That's where I will usually start when thinking up an unusual mod or cross model parts fitment idea.
