Default Evo tank compatibility

Gday blokes,
Just wondering if it's a big mission to use a 88 fxrs tank on a 89 softail custom?
I'm sure someone has done this before, bit of advice would be awesome.
Cheers..

Don't bother. It will fit if you make it fit. Meaning cut the dash mounts off of the softail frame and make new tank mounts. The fxr tank is a one piece tank and an evio softail has two seperate tanks.
