so,, did the OP (or anyone else) successfully got around installing the Fatboy fuel pump with correct reading etc? Im looking at doing this for my 18 street bob
I love what you did with that 5 gallon tank swap! I went with the stretched tank from a German company called Dark-Parts. One of the builds I did used the short fender from the same company and I was really happy with that fender. But unfortunately, the fender got destroyed. (long story) I've since gone back to the stock rear fender and I am happier for the versatility (adding backrest, luggage rack, and luggage for quick weekend trips alone or with my Ol' Lady) (Saving the Street Glide Special for my longer trips with my Club)
Anyway... the stretched tank I went with is 4 gallons but because of the placement of the fuel petcock, only 3 gallons is usable. Love the look but would prefer to go 5 gallon like you did. Btw, I just use my trip meter because the stretched tank does not register my fuel at all... Always says full or near full. I carry an extra fuel bottle that comes with the swing arm bag from La Rosa.
Its just about completed... The tank was an easy mod from what I have been told. Just need to complete a few odds and ins and it should be ready my the weekend...
So far I'm pleased with the new look... Cant wait to get into the wind!
SPEED SAFE, NICK
Im thinking about doing this did you have to change pump? Can you send a list of everything involved
When I bought my '78 FXS Lowrider, it came with a 3.5 gal tank. Looked good and everybody loved them...
Then the Wide Glide FXWG ('81ish) came out with a 5 gal tank.... Then many of the lowrider people wished they had a 5 gal tank. I had a friend put a 5 gal on his FXS... I kept the 3.5gal because I thought it looked better...
what modification did you need to do to put it on exactly if you do t mind me asking ?
I replaced the fuel pump because the fatboy fuel pump has a different number than the BO. All total for the tank(primed) and pump was $1100. Then the body shop who painted it took the center counsel mounting tab off(ground it off). That’s it. Fuel gauge is still misreads but you get used to it. All work except paint done by the dealer
