It is soooo much easier with the tank removed.

03 Carb Fatboy but has a EFI tank with a modified petcock. Plenty of room.

Very clever!!!!!! I'm going out now to see if I can do it on my bike. Would simplify the relocation of things.

Great idea. The only concern would be if it gets too hot with no air flow when the tank is on, and sitting so close to the heads and cylinders. Summer temps here get in the mid 100s. I have no idea, just curious if that could be an issue.
