Default 2018 Harley Street Bob Tank Swap

Has anyone done a bigger tank on these bikes? I want to remove the small tank and get a standard tank on the bike.

Tank is from 2018 Softail Slim. Painter removed the console mount, didn't get the left fill dent filled. Will post when I have the tank from the painter.

No. I purchased the fuel pump and sender for the 5 gal tank. The difference is fuel sender float, I have one that would fit which you could have. And an additional pickup which goes over the hump and into the right section of the tank. Using the original pump would leave some fuel in the right hand side.

I believe it was 515. we got mixed up and ordered the sender unit separately, it comes with the pump so that will save the price of a beer
